A man wandered into a toy store one afternoon with a very specific mission in mind: to buy a Barbie doll for his young daughter. He wasn’t exactly an expert on dolls, but he figured how complicated could it be? It’s just Barbie, right?
Spotting a display in the front window, he walked up to the counter and asked the sales assistant, “Excuse me, how much is that Barbie in the window?”
The assistant smiled politely and replied, “Which Barbie would you be referring to, sir? We have quite a selection.”
The man blinked, slightly overwhelmed. “Uh… I didn’t realize there were options.”
“Oh yes,” she said cheerfully. “We have Barbie Goes to the Gym for $19.95, Barbie Goes to the Ball for $19.95, Barbie Goes Shopping for $19.95, Barbie Goes to the Beach for $19.95, and Barbie Goes Nightclubbing for $19.95.”
The father nodded slowly, impressed by Barbie’s busy social calendar.
“And then,” the assistant continued, lowering her voice just a touch for emphasis, “we also have Divorced Barbie for $395.00.”
The man nearly choked. “Three hundred ninety-five dollars? Why on earth is Divorced Barbie so much more expensive than the others?”
The assistant gave him a knowing look and replied, “Well, sir, that’s quite simple. Divorced Barbie doesn’t just come with her own accessories. She comes with Ken’s house, Ken’s car, Ken’s boat, Ken’s furniture… and pretty much everything Ken ever owned.”
The man stood there in stunned silence for a moment, then nodded thoughtfully. Suddenly, the price didn’t seem so mysterious after all.
