My family does a lot (okay, most) of their shopping at Costco. Which is pretty cool; Costco has a lot of quality goods. But over the past year I've noticed something... INSIDIOUS.
*cue dramatic music*
You see, there's this brand called
Kirkland Signature that I've become familiar with. My first experience with Kirkland Signature was when my parents bought a massive package of burgers in that particular brand. Now,
everything from Costco comes in a massive package, so that was to be expected. The burgers were some of the best I've ever had too. So far so good. But every time we went to Costco, we looked around...
Kirkland Signature Hydrating Conditioner.
Kirkland Signature Whole Fancy Cashews.
Kirkland Signature Tri-Ply Stainless Steel Cookware.
Kirkland Signature Supreme Diapers.
Kirkland Signature Artichoke Hearts.
Kirkland Signature Men's Solid Dress Pants.
The list goes on and on; it's disconcerting, I tells ya!
The thing is, Kirkland Signature is a Costco-only brand. In-house, if you may. Essentially, most of the products in Costco are produced by Costco themselves. Which is when we realized the truth; the Kirkland Signature brand is the real life version of the
Dharma Initiative brand.
Think about it. *sage nod*
