What’s better than buying soda by the gallon instead of by liter? The answer: Nothing. Absolutely nothing. At Costco, you can walk into the store and buy a 3-lb block of Colby cheese and nobody’s gonna stop you today, buddy. Ahh, the power.

One of the oldest companies in the United States, AT&T was once the big bad monopoly that the government eventually had to break up. Now it’s sort of like a cute little underdog to Verizon. And how can you not heart the underdog?

An enormous selection of books – at relatively cheap prices – which you can sit and read all day without paying a dime – all of which can be found every other block in a major city. That’s why I heart Barnes and Noble.

Scantily clad girls, risque messaging, hipster clothing galore – how can you not heart American Apparel? Did you know that it’s the largest clothing manufacturer in the United States? Sure they have… unique methods of advertising, but it’s nothing that isn’t readily available in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition, and hey, bikini car washes to benefit Katrina victims? You might not understand the reasoning, but it DID raise a lot of money. Can’t argue with that.

Guess what? You can fly. Yeah, that’s right. Incredible. For a relatively cheap cost, you can travel from New York to L.A. in less than 10 hours. Ever heard of The Oregon Trail? Guess what – it took 150 days to get from Missouri to Oregon. And you got dysentary. And had to ford the river with your oxen. Until they all drowned. At least, that’s what the game taught me. Anyway, flying? Awesome.
