Chapter 3

This chapter is not sponsored by anything.

So far, I have not been asked to sponsor anything. No one has paid me to talk about how comfortable Fruit Of the Loom Men’s Value 10 Pack Ankle Crew Socks are. I don’t have to tell anyone that they have 85% Cotton, 13% Polyester, 1% Spandex, 1% Fiber, and that they are available for twelve dollars when you have Amazon Prime. I don’t even need to talk about how they easily let my feet breathe when I wear them. I could talk to you about that, but I’m not going to because this isn’t sponsored by anything.

As I’m writing this, I am eating a $3.49 deal from Burger King where I got two cheeseburgers, small fries, and a small drink. I got my drink at one of those really impressive electronic fountains, which Burger King has had for a while. It’s a lot of food for that price, so it’s a fantastic deal to get when you’re hungry.

I notice that my cat is also hungry, so after this I need to go and feed her some of the Science Diet we bought.

Since this chapter is not sponsored, I could talk about how the people who make Science Diet use only high-quality ingredients including real chicken, lamb or salmon protein. And that their dry cat foods boast quality protein as the first ingredient and provide clinically proven antioxidant benefits. They contain no artificial colors, flavors, preservatives or chicken by-product meal, and are made with natural ingredients plus vitamins, minerals and amino acids. It certainly keeps her happy and healthy. Or, I could talk about their opponent’s brand of cat food and whether or not they are better or worse. I could do that, but I’m not going to because this isn’t sponsored and I don’t have to talk about it.

I could ask what would you do for a Klondike Bar, but that would only be to have a conversation, and not some hidden plan to get you to buy one. What would you do for one? I personally would go to my nearest grocer that supplies it and spend a certain amount of money to but the six pack of Klondike’s Mint Chocolate Chip. That one’s my favorite, but they are all pretty good.

I could talk about any of these things and more, but I am not being paid by these corporations, so it would be pointless. If I was getting paid by a corporation, I would talk about their product all the time and lie in all the money they give me, but I’m not doing that. Saying anything like: “With Dawn Dishwashing Soap, I can clean my dishes easily and I’m able to spend the rest of my day doing whatever I want!” would be pointless to do because I wouldn’t get anything out of talking about it.

If you were to buy anything after you finish reading this, it wouldn’t be because of me, because I don’t have a sponsor, and I’m not selling anything. Buy what you want and don’t listen to people who are trying to sell something, because they might just be getting paid and they might not even use whatever they are trying to sell. Just Do It.
