Futuristic Supermarket

Recently our local supermarket was remodeled. One of the changes is a futuristic approach to marketing - sort of a subliminal suggestion technique.

The produce department has an automatic water mister to keep the produce fresh. Just before it goes on, you hear the sound of distant thunder and the smell of fresh rain.



When you pass the milk cases, you hear cows mooing and there is the scent of freshly mown hay.



In the meat department there is the aroma of charcoal grilled steaks with onions.



When you approach the egg case, you hear hens clucking and cackling, and the air is filled with the pleasing aroma of bacon and eggs frying.



The bread department features the tantalizing smell of fresh baked bread and cookies.



I don't buy toilet paper there anymore...
