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

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

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.

"peak freans", for instance, is clearly a drug reference
― spextor vs bextor (contenderizer), Thursday, 7 June 2012 22:07 (twelve years ago) link
anything canadian is a drug reference. e.g. toques, Rush
― Philip Nunez, Thursday, 7 June 2012 22:07 (twelve years ago) link
knockoff timtams are satisfactory when the real thing is not available but they aren't as good as the real thing imo

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

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.

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!

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.
― carl agatha, Saturday, 9 June 2012 14:37 (twelve years ago) link
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.
― mh, Saturday, 9 June 2012 15:17 (twelve years ago) link
I should clarify that there are no other grocery stores w/in easy walking distance. If there were, I would not embrace a Walmart.

Can I ask what the heck Target Commercial Interiors is? There's one near my house and it's one of those stores that feels too mysterious to enter.

if you feel bad about buying something from walmart but you buy stuff from amazon you gotta recheck your feelbad math, amazon is really worse than both these guys.
anyway I like walking around these stores. they will make great megachurches.

Amazon is pretty evil up and down the line. The stories about their warehouse operations etc., plus I've heard that they fuck suppliers over hardcore.

Too busy to read what you're saying too busy clicking on my amazon order.
I have a friend who did warehouse/back room work at Target in Minneapolis and apparently the downtown one is a coveted position and is kind of fun.
