Day 8.067: Stereo types?

No, no, no!


To be fair to the manufacturer of these appealingly coloured guitar strings for kids, they do not appear to put any gender-specificity into their marketing, but this store did. Black and "rockin" red are for boys and "pinkalicious" is for girls. Either boys or girls can select blue - but still from gender-specific displays.

Why would you do that? The packets have the colours shown on them - just let the customer choose the one they like best!

    1. Yes - no complaints with that. A rainbow set could be like the return of the rainbow guitar strap for the next generation.
