I was wondering if they came with "readiness socks" and "battle bunion pads."

Hey, they're trying to simply cash in on some meaniless buzz words. And don't blame this company alone, the hype is starting to filter down into everything we use.

I like to use these elastic straps to hold my riding glasses tight to my face.

If I buy one at my eye doctor's office they might cost nine bucks.

However, if I was to buy the exact same strap from my Harley dealer with the "Bar and Shield" logo woven into the design, I will be charged 20 bucks.

Hey, for an extra fifty dollars, after sharpening your knife I will lubricate it "high speed low drag VTOL" moly grease...
