There's this store chain around here called Big Lots. It's one of those places that sells closeouts, and the stock rotates often. (Former Middletown residents: think Xpect Discount). Cans that are dented but not enough to cause contamination, clumpy drink mix, that sort of thing. And some food that's past its expiration date. Gotta be careful about that.

I bought some Nutella there a while back. "Hmm," I thought, "what's Nutella doing on sale at Big Lots?" Seemed like kind of an upmarket item for this particular store. No matter, I bought some cheap and was happy.

I only recently noticed that my jar of Nutella includes a photo of a certain controversial basketball player, and the tagline "Try Kobe's favorite!"

That explains that particular closeout.
