sliced apples...

... is what I was responsible for at work on Sunday. I went in at 11:00, and stayed till 4:00. Spent the whole time, right there in one place, for five hours. Asking passers-by if they would like to sample our fresh apples and caramel dip. Both of which were on sale: the bagged, sliced apples for $2.50, and the dip for $3.00. That very viscous dip was so full of various forms of sweetener, it would completely, thoroughly cancel out the nutritional value of eating the apple slices. High fructose corn syrup, sugar, corn syrup, etc... (and a fist full of preservatives) all of which would totally eliminate any health value you might get from consuming the fruit.

So, my question is: What's the point?

And the obvious answer would be: To sell stuff.
