Labels Mean Nothing But Ink And Plastic

What is the obsession people have with brand-name labels? I don't understand. You go into a grocery store and see a million different varieties of the same food, and usually the store brand is cheaper...and tastes exactly the same as its more expensive counter-part. It really irks me when I see women in California in their velour track suits (with heels, no less), bleach blonde coiffe, Fendi bag, and drinking Evian water. I'm not bitching about Fendi here, I'm talking about the water. The purest spring water blah blah blah they brag. I got news for you ladies, the fish still shit in that water. And it's run through a purifier just like any standard bottle of water, the only difference is you are paying three dollars more for that label. How about instead of spending that extra three dollars a day, why don't you use that money and put together a care package for those lonely troops that are out on deployment? Or you could donate to a chairity? I don't think that would kill anybody. I just can't fathom (especially living on military income with a toddler) paying all that extra money for a label. If you don't need to save those extra few bucks, I'm not mad at you, but how about putting it toward something that is worth a cause instead of flaunting your money in everyone's face with a six dollar bottle of water?
