This is the last post about the cookies, I swear!
What is the marginal value of a Mega Stuffed Oreo cookie?
If the value in the experience is the ability to taste the cookie, the marginal value of an additional cookie may not return much more utility than trying the first Mega Stuffed Oreo cookie.
If I, and the team, see diminishing returns after the first cookie, how much waste have I produced bringing a big package of cookies? I would be better bringing little pieces which can be consumed per person.
I then thought, well does the marginal value of the cookie go up if accompanied by conversation and fellowship. Perhaps! Then again, referring to yesterday’s post, why would I want people to sugar crash on me?
This, my last post on the Mega Stuffed Oreo cookie saga. You got random musings on economics, marketing, psychology, scarcity principle, some management theory and my ultimate resignation to buy Mega Stuffed Oreo cookies because the opportunity cost of not buying is suffering at the hands of my team’s cookie craze.
