This summer I have been involved in a consumer research panel involving, from the best I can ascertain, a company that is trying to sell vegetables to non-vegetable eating people. By this I mean that they send me these vegetables to sample. They are always covered in some sauce or spice, probably to mask the flavor of the veggies. I've been steadily panning these offerings, and still they continue to send them. Here's the pattern: 1. I get an email informing me that the vegetables will be delivered that day. 2. The vegetables arrive in this cute little styrofoam container with an adorable cold pack in the bottom. 3. Inside the container is a $10 bill and instructions, all very secret, telling me the deadline to send in the response. 4. I send in my response and a week later we repeat. I feel like an industrial spy. Today my 8th box came.
Now here's the rub. My last survey was due in last week but they never sent it to me. I have been bemoaning the fact that I would never become independently wealthy now because they would drop me from the panel. I am so excited to still be a part of this historic study. And deciding what I shall do with all this money is mind boggling.
Stay tuned.
