Some grocery stores use those long runner mats as they tend to slow down the shopping cart that your pushing leading to more time exposed to the products. This is to slow you down, especially your kids, and allow them to be exposed to all these cereals. You may see some form of hopscotch or something that is somewhat interactive. You may also notice that on the floor in front of all these cereals are colorful designs or creations on the floor. All the kid friendly cereals are all lower down, right at a kids eye level. The next time you’re in a grocery store check out the cereal aisle. This really draws in children and creates a strong association with the character and ultimately the product. This is when animals, especially cute cartoony ones, take on human traits. And it works.Ĭereal companies, and many other manufacturers, are big on using cartoon animals in their products due to the effect of anthropomorphism. McDonald’s spends more money advertising the Happy Meal than they do on adolescents and adults. Manufacturers are aware of this and aim to direct advertising to children as they know they are the ones that can influence a lot of the family’s purchases. The most notable areas being where the family will eat, where they go on vacation, and what food products they buy. In most cases it’s just to shut them up but children determine a HUGE part of a families spending. As much as many parents don’t want to admit it, they at many times have given in to the demands of a whining child. Adults though were the main ones buying cereals but heading into the ‘80s that would change.Ī kid begging and pleading for anything from a cereal to a toy can actually be very successful and it’s called “ pester power“. The top-selling breakfast cereals have always generally been:įor an ‘80s kid, there are a few gold choices in there specifically Cinnamon Toast Crunch and Lucky Charms. Except for maybe stoned college students. The problem for these brands was that they were 100% targeted to kids and really had no hope of cornering the adult market. For 9 year old me this was my dream come true. I remember almost passing out the day I saw a box of Corn Pops and Fruity Pepples on the countertop. Our whole family would be up there sharing these cottages and my aunts and uncles were in charge of the food. A big thing would happen in the summers however when we would head north to the cabin. To me, this was the very definition of utopia. Seeing Cookie Crisp commercials when you were younger was borderline abuse knowing that I would never get to have cookies for breakfast. They were more facsimile foods, but that didn’t matter because I wanted them more than life itself. A lot of the things I was seeing in commercials could not really even be considered foods. That’s as extravagant as our cereal choices were. We were raised on the standard Cheerios, Cornflakes, Weetabix, and, if we were lucky, Honey Nut Cheerios. I took this worse than some countries that lose their independence. Anything that came from a brightly colored box with some sort of cartoon on it was not going to be making it into my bowl. If you grew up like me you probably were very rarely allowed sugary junk cereal. You can listen to the podcast version about 1980s cereals, or if you like to listen with your eyes you can read on! The Brave New World Of 1980s Breakfast Cereals An explosion of cereal varieties and characters, along with great advertising campaigns, made these breakfast cereals as coveted as some toys. The breakfast cereals of the 1980s ushered in a whole new era of products that were highly desired by kids. Do you remember being that kid in the supermarket pleading for your dream breakfast cereal like your life depended on it?

In a lot of cases they seemed to be above-average vs. It wasn't a big sample, but the HF stands I've looked at were all very cleanly made and all functioned as safely as the user was able to use them (a lot of people are dangerously casual with putting their vehicle on stands IMHO). Esco and a few others make a really high-quality stand, but for the most part consumer stands are kinda what they are. I've looked at a LOT of jackstands since this all came out. I've heard people snicker about the fact they took a set of stands in they knew weren't from HF but were so battered and oversprayed that you couldn't tell for sure. They didn't require any any receipts for any of that. Then they broadened the action even farther, due purely to concerns and not any actual issues with the products. HF didn't screw around, they simply took fast and broad action. I guess my point is this: It was a seriously bad flaw. They took them back without a blink, which was long after the recall was announced.Īnd what statements or actions have happened from the other guys using the exact same factory during that time? ( crickets) but since I had the ProLift set and then decided to give myself the present of a QuickJack for my 50th b-day, I returned the HF stands for credit toward the Full Bank cart I got (and love). I kept the stands for a long while after - it was handy to have them when I dropped the subframe on my Mini, etc. Comparing the center columns showed me that my HF stands were clearly not part of the bad production run. What's funny was the welds on the HF stands were cleaner than the ProLift stands. When I got them and unboxed them, they were literally identical other than the pin. I immediately bought a well-reviewed set of ProLift stands that had the safety pin (same as you see on the new Daytona stands). What did other companies who used the exact same factory for their jack stands do? ( crickets) And when they saw how worried people were, they opened the recall to any of their jack stands - including old ones that never had any problems. HF doesn't put production codes on their products that would have allowed them to recall just stands within a certain range, so they took back anything with the part number, which had been used for years. I'm not saying bad copies didn't exist, I'm saying it was an escape from the factory that lasted a short amount of time. The company is offering Harbor Freight Tools gift cards equal to the retail price of the recalled jack stands.Correct - that's what I mean by 'center column' The company said that following the lifting of “shelter at home orders,” customers should bring their recalled jack stands to their local Harbor Freight store. Harbor Freight noted that the recall only concerns item #s: This condition could cause serious injury for people near or under a lifted vehicle, and/or damage to property.” “For certain units of the Pittsburgh Automotive 3-Ton and 6-Ton Heavy Duty Steel Jack Stands there is a potential, while under load and with a shift in weight, for the pawl to disengage from the extension lifting post, allowing the stand to drop suddenly. Harbor Freight issued its own safety recall warning in cooperation with the NHTSA. Harbor Freight Pittsburgh Automotive Recall The original manufacturer of the jack stands, Jiaxing Golden Roc Tools Company, determined that the products were defective because of aged production tooling.Ĭonsumers have reported injuries while using the Harbor Freight jack stands. Why Were Harbor Freight Jack Stands Recalled?Īccording to an NHTSA press release, the jack stands have the potential to collapse under load, which can increase the risk of injury for people who are near or under a lifted vehicle.

The initial District Organizational Meeting was held in Oakland, CA with a gathering of forty (40) or so brothers. Alexander Looby, the 12th District was created, comprised of California and the rest of the Pacific Coast. In 1941, under the guidance of Grand Basileus Z.

In 1911, the Founders of this beloved Fraternity had a vision of not only starting a Fraternity but of expanding it across this vast country, from a small Black college in Washington, DC, to the shores of California. OF THE OMEGA PSI PHI FRATERNITY, INCORPORATED In Ireland, where the tradition began, pumpkins don’t grow. The legend of Stingy Jack is just the start of Halloween’s fascinating history. The Irish took to calling him “Jack of the Lantern”, which was then shortened to “Jack-o’-Lantern”. Jack stuck the coal into a hollowed out turnip and has been wandering the earth ever since. He rejected him as well, and sent Jack’s soul back to wander the earth with nothing but a warm coal to light his path. The Devil, however, promised not to take Jack’s soul. Jack’s soul was rejected from heaven because he had lived a deplorable life, and instead turned to Hell. Shortly after he struck his final deal with the Devil, he died. These old legends rarely have a happy ending for the protagonist, and ole Stingy Jack is no exception. He struck the same deal with the Devil, only this time he was to be left alone for ten years. While the Devil climbed around in the tree, Jack carved a cross into its back that prevented him from coming down. Again he succeeded, this time convincing him to climb a tree to pick some fruit. He also promised not to take Jack’s soul once he died.Ī year passed, and Jack once again decided to play a trick on the Devil. Stymied by the cross, the Devil was eventually released after agreeing not to both Jack for a year. The Devil expected to be used to cover the drinks, but Jack instead stuck him in his pocket next to a silver cross. Instead, he tricked the Devil into turning into a coin. Stingy Jack, as you may have deduced, was not the most generous of souls, so when it came time to pay for the Devil’s drink Jack refused. The legend begins at a pub, where Stingy Jack invited the Devil to have a drink. The name jack-o’-lantern comes from an Irish folk tale about a man called “Stingy Jack”. The answer lies across the Atlantic in the the 17th century, and rooted in the Celtic-Pagan religion. While everyone has seen a jack-o’-lantern, not everybody knows exactly where the tradition comes from. Whether their expressions are happy, sad, or scary, glowing jack-o’-lanterns peering at those brave enough to wander through October nights bring joy to the season. Pumpkin carving is an October staple in households across the United States.

By Jordan Williams Published Here are the cast and characters of HBOs House of the Dragon, which follows House Targaryen at the height of its power as a civil war looms. What can you do if you are thirty and, turning the corner of your own street, you are overcome, suddenly by a feeling of bliss – absolute bliss! – as though you’d suddenly swallowed a bright piece of that late afternoon sun and it burned in your bosom, sending out a little shower of sparks into every particle, into every finger and toe? We can see from the excerpt above that although the narrative voice begins with conventional reporting (‘Although Bertha Young was thirty she still had moments like this when she wanted to run instead of walk’), it quickly begins to take on the ‘feel’ and sound of a different person’s idiom: Bertha’s own: So-called ‘omniscient’ third-person narrators, as the word ‘omniscient’ indicates, are supposed to know everything, so they have little use for questions (although it’s true they may use rhetorical questions occasionally).Įxclamations, similarly, can sound too emotional, and therefore not in keeping with the usually dry, detached, level-headed ‘voice’ of an impersonal third-person narrator. One of the easiest ways of spotting free indirect style in a work of fiction is the use of questions and exclamations. Oh, is there no way you can express it without being ‘drunk and disorderly’? How idiotic civilisation is! Why be given a body if you have to keep it shut up in a case like a rare, rare fiddle? What can you do if you are thirty and, turning the corner of your own street, you are overcome, suddenly by a feeling of bliss – absolute bliss! – as though you’d suddenly swallowed a bright piece of that late afternoon sun and it burned in your bosom, sending out a little shower of sparks into every particle, into every finger and toe? … First, consider this example, the opening paragraphs from Katherine Mansfield’s short story ‘Bliss’ (1918):Īlthough Bertha Young was thirty she still had moments like this when she wanted to run instead of walk, to take dancing steps on and off the pavement, to bowl a hoop, to throw something up in the air and catch it again, or to stand still and laugh at – nothing – at nothing, simply. Let’s turn from a made-up illustrative example of free indirect discourse to some examples of the real thing, taken from proper writers who’ve actually written works of literature and such. The rest of the narrative will probably allow us to form a firmer judgment about him. Perhaps he is a good man, but we’ve merely caught him in a moment of frustration. We know from that simple sentence quoted above that Bob is frustrated at his cat perhaps he is not especially fond of the animal (‘the thing’ strips poor Dribbles of his animate qualities, rendering him an object rather than a living creature and who on earth calls their poor cat ‘Dribbles’ anyway?), and perhaps he is not an altogether nice person. This provides a clue to the purpose of free indirect speech: it can bring us closer to the character, and it can even give us a clearer sense of their personality. |
