The disappointing news for
stores, however, may be that the gum chewers did not spend more money at the
grocery store than their non-chewing
counterparts.
A can of pumpkin in the pet supply
stores is about a dollar more
than a can of human pumpkin at the
grocery store, and might be a couple of ounces (or megahertz, or whatever) lighter
than it's human
counterpart.
