I've gotten many questions about things we've posted about and that are on the website, so obviously some people are not getting all the information. So I'd just like to reiterate.

I guess you're right, although I've never really thought about it much. They should probably say OVER 79% SOLD! to create hype over selling 80%... that kind of thing. But I don't deal in hype, and I don't deal in linguistics. :) However, here's another shower thought for you (cause that's what your "sold out" bit sounded like to me). Do you ever buy those baby carrots that come all peeled and smooth? Do you ever wonder if maybe they're not actually baby carrots, but just the shapes of little carrots carved out of bigger carrots? Uh, yes. Crack. What MC said.

I think about this every week when I buy them at the grocery store. "Do they just rip these poor things out of the ground before they've matured and grown skin?
