The perfect accompaniment for your Valentine's Day stroll through Target. Or not. This week we cover two subjects related to the holiday of love: chocolate and consumer traps. Olivia tells us about the ongoing lawsuits surrounding the cocoa industry, the companies that have been dragging their feet regarding exploitative practices for decades, and those who are fighting the good fight. Then Elise perfectly describes the layout of your local Target (how does she know?) and what you were thinking the last time you needed "just one thing." Along the way we discuss Tiktok shopping trends, magic tricks, and why you shouldn't boil your bouquet of roses.
*The chocolate story in this episode (09:30 to 35:00) discusses modern-day slavery and child labor.
