Cashing In On The World Cup

Those of you that know me know that I don't like soccer nor did I stayed up late at night watching the World Cup last month! Thank goodness the World Cup is over and life can get back to normal for another 4 years.
But the World Cup fever is still on! Here at my local supermarket I saw this bottle of olive oil imported from Italy in the shape of the World Cup trophy! Its the Colavita extra virgin olive oil all the way from Italy!


Cashing on the Italian win, the company came up with this idea of shaping their olive oil bottles into the trophy they won hoping to boost sales but its selling for $9.99 today so maybe people are a bit sick of the World Cup and no one's buying them and they have to drop the price to get rid of them! We didn't buy it coz we use a different brand.

I would definitely buy it since it's rare and unique. Besides, you can sell it for higher price in years to come! :D You should buy it as collections.
