Soup Can Symmetry
Is it important to anyone else out there that the soup cans on your neighborhood grocery store shelves display some sense of symmetry? I happen to like all the Campbell's soup cans facing the same way, as if at attention. "About face, Cream of Chicken!" If I pull a can or two off the shelf, I feel compelled to pull up another can into the empty spot at the front of the shelf. And then I feel a need to turn the cans on either side until their labels display a symmetry. This of course makes the very corners of my mouth turn slightly to compliment the gleam of satisfaction in my eyes.
Why do I do this?
a: the labels are easier to read when all facing the same way
b: it's a dirty job but someone has to do it
c: there must be a serious control issue here
d: it indicates a highly artistic sensitivity to beauty in symmetry
e: an overexposure to Andy Warhol-isms
f: all of the above
g: ???
I haven't even mentioned the magazine racks at the registers! Don't even get me started!
So... how about you?
O.o
