    That sounds like where I used to live, so I figured the BOGO was Publix. I’m now in the midwest so no Food Lion or Kroger either, all store chains I had never heard of, but they do a lot of the same things.

      they do a lot of the same things.

      It works, just like marketing nasty tasting bubbly acid sugar syrup using cute polar bears at christmastime worked in the 70s. It was “the real thing” and one of the most valuable companies on the planet, based on nothing but delivery of that nasty unhealthy stuff.

      I think if you unpack the roots of the BOGO, it pushes a lot of the same reward buttons as nicotine delivery death sticks.
