The Freebees' Magic!

No .. No..am not directing bees at you which are free to strike you hard with their sting. Though , I wish to do that for some :D Here, I am talking about the sweet freebies! The title was just to instill some fear of bees :D

Catch A Toy - Fun claw machine has been part of childhood of almost all of us.Such meticulously we tried to catch our favorite cute little dinosaur and teddy from the lucrative machine full of those ,but that devil claw always used to drop the toy at the last moment.But hope to catch that cute little one someday always lingered on.Idea of getting one as free seemed more fascinating and fulfilling  than simply going and buying one,though we are spending the same amount of money in both the cases.Isn't it?

Freebies are something which are everybody’s favorite, because for the simple reason; these are free! People don’t even mind the stupid thing thrown at them in the name of freebie attached. The greed for more and more in less money has driven all the rocket sales up .Only a name of some random freebie attached with something garner such response from people for it as if on what treasure they are laying their hands. Attaching such freebies is a good marketing strategy .It ranges from giving a packet of shampoo with a magazine to morning newspaper in metro. Even a packet of spicy corn rings also has a free cheap plastic cockroach ring inside. Big retails chain gives all sorts of attractive offers and freebies on massive bills .And we like poor victims unaware of the shrewd strategy fall for it, every time .So sad! 

Are we such innocent people? Isn’t it like ; the moment we see a banner shouting out Sale, the tongue starts waging, eyes hypnotized, mind calculating the probable benefit, feet lead you to the shop, hands start putting every possible thing on Sale in the shopping basket and pocket getting empty fast! Yes, such is the magic!

But we eventually forget that we end up buying much more additional stuff that we actually need and that only result in cluttering your already over packed room/wardrobe. Even the shrewdest and calculating human fall for the love of freebies. Not in the opposition of such offers but sometimes troubles come attached in the form of freebies too. Now an old trick though, but quite many have fallen for the “You are the lucky 500^th visitor that has been chosen for 1 million lottery prize, please provide you account details” mail. Though we may laugh aloud, but people like us fall for such only. 

 

Nothing in this world is free; everything has a price tag attached to it, though sometimes it may be invisible. As the popular adage says:

There ain't no such thing as a free lunch!
