#1. good food, especially sweets make people happy.
#2. Everyone can afford a $3.00 cupcake
#3. things from bakeries and cupcakeries are often impulse buys...ones that people can afford. You are on your way home from work, had a crappy day and ohhhhh you pass a dessert shop. Plopping down $3 or $4 dollars for something yummy is easier done that going to saks and buying a $500 handbag.
#4. Because of the economy, rising gas prices, job loss people are depressed. What do people do when they're depressed? They eat foods that aren't good for them.
Oooh I'm the opposite then.
#1. good food, especially gyro's make me happy.
#2. I'll pay up to $4 for a gyro, but not $3 for a cupcake.
But, make that a Neopolitan and I will!
#3. things from gyro shops and extreme pita shops are often impulse buys...ones that people can afford. You are on your way home from work, had a crappy day and ohhhhh you pass a gyro shop! Plopping down $3 or $4 dollars for something yummy is easier done that going to saks and buying a $500 handbag.
