Unpredictable. Unfocused. Just like life.

Down The Avenue has some interesting thoughts about the effects of too many choices. Sometimes may of these choices are from the same company. When my kids we in diapers I was surprised to learn that both Luvs and Pampers were Proctor & Gamble products. How different could these product possibly be? They merely succeed in giving the company more shelf space, but probably don't increase the real choice at all.

Sometimes when faced with too many choices I just fall back on the old predictable popular brands. I may be missing out on some great new thing, but I just don't have the time or inclination to make such a difficult decision.

In Canada the selection is substantially more limited. We don't even have Victoria's Secret or TiVo, and it is illegal for us to have DirecTV.What bothers me most is the selection of Tabasco Sauce. I like the green chile sauce, which I can only get in the small bottle, yet I can get the Smoky Chipotle in the big bottle. I can't get the Garlic flavor at all. Having too many choices may be bad, but it's worse when you can't get the one thing you really want.
