Transcript:
Dad: "Look at all this peanut butter! There must be three sizes of five brands of four consistencies! Who demands this much choice??" Dad: "I know! I'll quit my job and devote my life to choosing peanut butter! Is "chunky" chunky enough, or do I need "EXTRA chunky"?" Dad: "I'll compare ingredients! I'll compare brands! I'll compare sizes and prices! Maybe I'll drive around and see what OTHER stores have! So much selection and so little time!" Dad: "I think YOU should do the shopping" Mom: "Did the manager have to talk to you again?" Calvin: "Hey, where's the peanut butter?!"
