I've been writing about sex-related or wood-related (ha ha ha ha) stuff.
And today as I was putting away groceries I saw, "Family Size" written on one package and "Value Size" written on another.
I was amused. I thought, "How does one determine whether a family size is a value? I know for certain that all value sizes are not for families. And not all values are for families. Family values takes on another meaning..."
Then I started thinking about switching packaging. There isn't anything I can think of right now that would be warped if the advertising said "Value Size" instead of "Family Size."
Changing it the other way around would cause problems.
Things that have been named "Value Size" that would NOT benefit from being "Family Size":
Condoms
Razor blades
Bottles of wine
Lawn chemicals
Boxes of nails
Ammunition
Cartons of cigarettes
Dog food
Laxatives
Nasal spray
There are lots more, but I risk being redundant or obtuse. Lord knows I'm already obtuse enough.
I've got a value pack of obtuse.

And if you lived in Italy, they might sell you a la familia box of wine. Or France, tra la.
