Target or Walmart

there's a Walmart in Greenpoint?

heh-heh

no actually this wuz near where billy clinton lived. during the clinton years.

Target started carrying a lot more aspirational soap + candle brands like Caldrea and stuff

I think it's the same company as that Meyer's Green Day cleaning products stuff, actually

I am a 31 year old male who likes buying cleaning products and stuff that smells good don't judge me

* rubs green tea-scented lotion from Target into hands *

i've some target dental floss and as someone mentioned upthread, many of their in-house products have better graphic design going on than do the name brand competitors. especially since proctor and gamble got rid of their "we worship satan" progrock wizard logo

dude i think that is called sanity. if all guys were into aromatherapeutic cleaning products then our children would have a chance at a thermonuclearwarless future

so please rock on with your aspirational soaps. you have the right idea

yankee candles are for frat guys and inveterate stoners who live in dominos pizza box hovels

there, i said it

Target's applesauce is bad

ugh

do you mean "bad" like b.a. good?

I mean like it feels like it has some sort of detritus in it

i bought a target ("archer farms") ham once. was p good. tasted like normal ham. their salty snacks are good too. don't really know beyond that.

i shouldn't have repped for target brand food in the first place. i started out intending to compliment their packaging and product design, especially their toys and holiday merch. they have kids workshop and kitchen toy sets (lol, i know) that are way cooler and cheaper than anything similar on the market. if i had kids, i'd buy the shit out of that stuff. and their halloween stuff is wonderful.

old moms in momjeans and sweaters and grannies like Yankee Candles too

eh, they're not really people though imo

fair enough

they have kids workshop and kitchen toy sets (lol, i know) that are way cooler and cheaper than anything similar on the market.

nah, i totally can relate. since they stopped making incandescent lightbulbs and made everyone buy those florescent ones, it's almost impossible to build your own e-z bake oven

I hate all scented candles ever

maybe you just have shitty ones with bad scents rather than good ones that smell like bamboo or cilantro

go back to AUSTRIA-LAND!!

how dare you

"this candle smells like a kangaroo's pouch, just like home"

I DON'T WANT MY CANDLES TO SMELL LIKE THINGS

and I will stay right here, thank you very much mr racistpants

fake smells smell like fake smells

the end

since when is "australian" a race

was recently thinking that fake watermelon smell is the best fake smell

in fact I might think that fake watermelon TASTE is better than real watermelon taste, at least in the Jolly Rancher version

jolly ranchers are the best fake tastes

the wax-scented candles are pretty inoffensive

Kudzu scented candles are really nice. I didn't even know kudzu flowers had a scent until a local candlemaker started selling them.

since when is "australian" a race

it's pretty much a race to the bottom down there with the exception of yahoo serious

if u love scented candles so much why don't you marry them

jerkface

or marry yahoo serious

still illegal in most of the lower 48 iirc

kinda off topic but just fyi mh you wanna get on some of this, it is a grade:

I hate all scented candles ever

fake grapefruit scent is amazing, so long as it's not in a candol

target's knockoff peak freans are NOT as good as genuine peak freans (though I called them and asked if they were made in the peak freans factory, and they were very cagey about it.) target's tim tams ARE as good as genuine tim tams, or at least they're as good as taiwanese tim tams.

^ these are made up things

"peak freans", for instance, is clearly a drug reference

anything canadian is a drug reference. e.g. toques, Rush

knockoff timtams are satisfactory when the real thing is not available but they aren't as good as the real thing imo

I hate that AC mOORE smell of "every synthetic fraganace in the worl d at once"

I got two of those candles the other day. They're soy ones that smell fresh and awesome and not heavily perfumed or cloying like YC. Yes, I bought them at Target. I may have a small Target problem.

"Target - we know what you like and what you are willing to pay for it."

otm

i am starting to accept that i love going to target. the way every store is the same bc target stores are always newer than walmart stores makes me feel like i am in the same store all the time even at a different location. that makes no sense to anyone. anyway i like to buy cleaning products that smell good. i get the "natural" dish soap and detergent and method stuff. i don't like to clean though!

I'm going to Target now! Anyone need anything?

target smells like plastic offgassing to me. walmart smells like newspaper recycling plant. costco smells like cardboard.

A new super Target is opening two blocks from my work, so now I can pick up grocery items on the way home. I haven't lived in a Walmart friendly area since they became ubiquitous so I have only been to Walmart once ~ 1997, on a special trip with a friend who was going for a particular thing. I have actively fought against Walmart's business practices but tbh if they open one of their city sized grocery stores walking distance from our house, I would shop there.

Since Target started one state away, we have had them forever. I remember going to Target 25 years ago, long before Wal-Mart came here.
