This week I attended a mental health event at Selkirk High School and at my table I offered sweeties attached to business cards as a way to make it easier to take a business card without in-depth conversation about loss in a public place.
A lot of them went, but there was a clear divide in the preference for chocolate buttons over parma violets. However the people who chose the little purple perfumy sweeties were delighted to have them as an option. They loved them so and had instant childhood memories as soon as they saw them.
Moral of the story is, you could be popular like chocolate buttons or you could be loved like parma violets.
Which would you choose and why?
