As seen in Mad Men

NaBloPoMo Day 15: Today marked one of the highlights of our autumn, the fall concert of Coro Allegro, our favorite Boston chorus. It will receive a proper entry tomorrow. For this evening, then, a placeholder.

As you well know, Mad Men is one of our favorite television shows, but having killed our cable connection, we watch with a one season lag through Netflix. We've already made it through the second season, which was terrific, and we're looking forward to watching the third season, presumably this summer. On one of my infrequent trips to the conventional supermarket (Trader Joes and Whole Foods, while obviously just grocery stores, do seem a bit different from most supermarket chains.), I spotted this display, which had a special resonance as we had just watched "The Benefactor" episode, prominently featuring Utz potato chips:
