The Crocs of the matter

From the very day Crocs appeared on the market, my wife and I made a promise never to purchase these faddish plastic clogs. These were the symbol of the boom times and the waste that preceded our economic collapse and we often made fun of all the big, fat adults who thought they looked cool by wearing them. We couldn't get off our minds the fact that when, made in China at a cost of $1.75, these objects could fetch $30! Well, we sure changed our tune and our staunch resolve suddenly melted, when we caught a glance of a cute pair of orange Crocs that we though would be just right for our grandson Finn. They say only idiots never change their minds and we certainly did. We fell in love with the idea and wiped out our stiff, logical and boring view of the world. Our participation was probably “too little, too late” as Crocs is now rumored to be going bankrupt, but you see, huge popularity followed by a steep nosedive is often the crux of the matter in business!
