Today was a long day.
But it ended with a ton of fireworks-goodness!
It started out by us driving across states into Indiana. We went to one of the newest Phantom fireworks outlets.
Anyway, we get there and to our joyous surprise, *EVERYTHING* is buy one get one free and you can mix and match anything above twenty dollars.
Everything was fine and dandy until I got to the register, rang up all of our stuff and the girl behind the counter with the cutest possible smile I am sure she could muster said:
“That’ll be $1,134.65 sir.”
Evidently, as I stared clean through her skull, she figured her joke sucked and opted to continue…
“Hu hu hu… just kidding”, she said. It’s actually $568.69. You saved $622.32 today! And guess what?”
I mockingly said in an excited tone, “I dunno… wha… ?”
Before saying anything she realized I was making fun of her hick accent, and then said with a frown and sigh, “You get tons of free stuff. Happy?”
“Um, well hell yeah!”, I gasped in anticipation.
I’ll skip the rest of the exasperated dialog, but I will tell you this. The free stuff was:
2 Grand Finale Assortments ($109.99 a piece)
1 Thunder Mountain ($79.99)
1 Wolf Pack Radical Recoil Shells ($49.99)
1 Napalm Bomb ($39.99)
1 Palm Pyro Pageantry ($29.99)
1 Wolf Pack Assorted Rockets ($29.99)
1 Phantom Fireworks T-Shirt (and no, it isn’t the one employees wear!)
You got that right. $449.93 in free stuff! And only one of those items (Palm Pyro Pageantry) was discontinued. Of course that’s not counting the t-shirt.
I have no clue how they can afford to give away so much free stuff. I guess a business where you sell cardboard and low explosive pyrotechnics that you manufacture for a few dollars per item is pretty stinking lucrative.
Bastards think they’re slick. Like I don’t know better.
But who am I kidding?! I got $450.00 in free shit!
