Do I go with a familiar brand? |
Sunday, August 19, 2012
Today I headed into Amman with colleagues for a lightening quick shopping raid at one of the few big food stores open during Eid. As I wandered (quickly) the aisles of the store, I felt a familiar sinking feeling. Which brands should I buy? Should I buy three different boxes of orange juice and taste-test them for future reference? Is there any way to figure out the sugar content of these products? Do I have time to even think about these questions? There are 5 different brands of generic salt labelled in English--does it matter AT ALL which I buy? Oh, for heaven's sake: just grab a box and keep moving...and, at all costs, do NOT forget the bananas!
