An Interesting Turn

Just the other day, on this very website, when discussing stroopwafel flavor varieties, we wrote:

We know how these things can go, when a company gets all enterprising and tries to fix things that aren’t broken. Like, remember when Subway offered personal pizzas? And Panera was like, “we have pasta now”?

Why do we bring this up? Oh, no reason. Anyway, today we’re selling Margaritaville Life Whole Foods Multivitamin Tablets!

But seriously, here’s the problem: we’ve come to view the person who says “hmmm, I don’t know,” as a weak link. And in a lot of cases, it’s justifiable. Everyone’s had that coworker who just likes to cross their arms and frown while punching holes literally any idea that isn’t absolutely perfect (which, surprise, just happens to be their own idea). And it can be hard to differentiate between those people, who are just being negative for negative’s sake, and the ones who are actually trying to warn us.

And so, in the board meeting where they were pitching “Margaritaville Life,” there was probably someone who was like, “Hmmm, I don’t know if we, a hospitality company that specializes in casual dining and casinos as well as food items sold at grocery stores, really need to get into the wellness biz.” And everyone rolled their eyes and thought, Typical friggin’ Janet over here trying to poo poo everything.

Was Janet right, though? Well, we are selling these things on Meh, so there you go.

Now look, if it seems like we’re being super angry, we’re sorry. If anything, we’re the only ones who shouldn’t be upset about this. After all, we’re the ones benefitting. And by ‘we’ we mean ‘those of us here at Meh, and also you.’

Because at the end of the day, these are just some solid multivitamins. They’re Non-GMO. They’re vegan. They’re gluten-free. And it’s not like Margaritaville hired a vitamin guy and set him up on the same floor where they’re mass producing their (in our opinion, very underrated) jalapeño artichoke garlic dip and screen printing shirts that say “one tequila, two tequila, three tequila, floor.” No, they’re made in a vitamin-production facility, duh! They’re safe and good!

Plus, you don’t exactly set your multivitamins out for guests to enjoy. You take them in the morning or at night when it’s just you, so no one has to know yours are from the guy who fronts “The Coral Reefer Band.”

In short: yes, it’s funny that Margaritaville broke into the vitamin game, and yes, maybe it wasn’t a shrewd business move, but all that means is you get buttload of vitamins for not a buttload of money.

So get them and enjoy a healthy gut.
