Tip: This site supports text-selection search. Just highlight any word.Do you usually buy a regular chocolate or a premium chocolate? Oh, premium definitely. When I buy. How much do you think is a reasonable amount to pay for chocolate? Two, three, or four dollars? Well, about four dollars, I would say.
And do you ever buy chocolate to give it as a gift to someone? Sure. But how often do you think? About once a month? Okay. And for a gift, you buy a bar or a box. A gift box.
All right. And how much would you typically spend for a box of chocolates to give as a gift? $25, $35, $15. $25. Great. I don't think so much for your time. I'd like to give you one of our reindeer chocolate bars for helping us out.
