Consider the following scenario: you’re having a chat with a friend about some of the high quality foods on the market out there.

If your friend responded by saying, “I have a product just for you. It’s got the high class factor, is easy on the finances, and is packed into a small can.”, I’m sure you’d think he’d lost the plot a little.
