"Do Us a Flavor" 2

I have chosen. I voted on Facebook and FB welcomed me to "Team Chicken & Waffles". I'm not sure if I mentioned this in my last post about Lay's but the Sriracha chips really, really disappointed me. But when I tried the Chicken & Waffles Lay's, I was relieved and pleasantly surprised because I didn't have high hopes for this one since Sriracha was such a downer.
This whole "voting" process for which flavor to keep kind of bothers me though. Because I've looked for all three flavors in multiple gas stations in PA - I still haven't seen Cheesy Garlic Bread and I've only seen Chicken & Waffles ONCE. How are we supposed to vote for our favorite if we don't even get to try them all?! I feel like Lay's should really work on making all three flavors available at the same location, so people can actually make a fair decision.

A&F - Exclusively for The Fit?

When I got on Facebook yesterday, I saw that this was posted by many of my FB friends. Most of them were saying that they can't believe Jeffries would say something so harsh and ignorant, while a couple expressed something along the lines of "instead of running your mouth about this, go run outside and lose that weight".
While I don't agree with that person on my feed, I don't think what the CEO of Abercrombie & Fitch said is that big of a deal. A&F has ALWAYS targeted thinner kids, only making sizes for girls in XS - XL. It was just never declared so harshly that A&F actually only wants fit people to represent their brand. Also, this is just more publicity for A&F. Maybe not necessarily good publicity, but it's still getting their name out there.
