65: We're at the Scholastic Book Fair!


Listen Later

Sarah volunteers at the Scholastic Book Fair and is taken back to all the magic and regrets that come along with it. Sarah and Maggie also talk about mall culture, specifically Orange Julius and Auntie Anne’s.

Plus all the facts:

Casinos are designed to deliberately disorient visitors. This same strategy is behind the design of shopping malls. This design is called the GRUEN TRANSFER, this phenomenon is named after Austrian architect Victor Gruen who identified how an intentionally confusing layout could lead to people spending more time and money in a shopping center.

and

Canadians eat 55% more Kraft Macaroni and Cheese than Americans. Canadians purchase 1.7 million boxes a year.

And, a YOU DON’T KNOW JACK that truly stumps Sarah. Not even Google can help her. Will you be able to guess this Jack?

So, what do you think? Do you have regrets from your Scholastic Book Fair purchases? What mall shopping stop was your go-to as a teen. Are you as upset about Canadians eating Kraft Mac and Cheese as Maggie is?
