I miss the little "buying a lot of this crap-buying none of this crap" map key....

That was at the bottom with all the other graphs. It always gave me a smile. And also-informative! I could tell what shades of blue meant purchasing a lot of items, and which shade meant they weren’t buying any.

The brighter the shade, the more they are buying.

I don’t understand. It’s right there, on the page.

- @Shrdlu they’re talking about the map’s legend that used to be there. the gradient that went from “nobody” to “everybody”. it’s not really necessary anymore because at some point we started basing the “nobody” color on the background and the “everybody” color on the accent.
  
  i mostly liked it because it was funny to me that everybody didn’t really mean everybody.

- @Shrdlu actually, i think it’s still kind of confusing when the background is light and the foreground is dark:
  
  Wyoming looks “lit up”, but maybe that’s just because I looked at three that were the other way around.
