I liked King Arthur Flour on Facebook. I don't normally buy their flour as it's out of my price range but I was looking at some of their mixes and such as Christmas gift ideas. Also, I am looking ahead to Patrick's birthday party; we may have a gluten-free attendee, and their GF cake mixes earn rave reviews.
Anyway. They were offering a deal for "ABSOLUTELY FREE SHIPPING -- with a $60 minimum order." The comments were priceless. Full disclosure: I do think it's a bit of, oh let's call it a stretch, to advertise ABSOLUTELY FREE SHIPPING if you have to spend $60. That's because I'm spoiled by Amazon and it's free shipping with a $25 minimum, I guess.
Comment Type #1: It's not free if you have to spend 60! Bah humbug!
Comment Type #2: KAF IS AWESOME!!! You all are just haterzzzzzz!!!1!!
Comment Type #3: Actually, it IS free shipping. You are paying $60 for flour. Then nothing for shipping.
Comment Type #4: I don't see how I could possibly ever spend $60 on flour in my lifetime.
And ... that was it for me. You have liked a FLOUR on your Facebook, a flour that retails for $4.95ish ... and you don't think you can use 12 bags IN YOUR LIFETIME? Either you don't cook, ever, or you expect to have a very short life. I am sorry for you. Someone then reasonably pointed out that they sell OTHER THINGS on their website so you don't have to spend $60 on flour, like OMG.

Okay. I thought this was amusing. I don't think it sounds nearly as amusing now that I have typed it. But that's 27 days down BITCHEZZZZZZZZ.
