I told A it wouldn't work.
Well, okay, I did it in my head, but who am I to tell her it she was wrong? I figured it was worth a shot.
You see, recently, R noticed what I noticed not long after we started this idea: a rarely shaped cracker and a rarely marked chip with no definite value is really not a good thing to trade.
Think about it: how can you trade for something bigger or better (or at all) if you have no idea what a thing is truly worth? And when you're doing that with two things? Psh. The chances of that succeeding were slim to nil, although not totally impossible.
Even still, we now have a new idea. We sent in a picture of the smiling chip to Frito Lay, who makes the Classic Potato Chips, which is exactly where we got said chip - in a bag, by that very company. Turns out, they get that stuff a decent amount, and they sent us a coupon for a free bag of chips.
You understand where I'm going with this.
Instead of trading with the origami cracker and smiling chip, were going to trade with the coupon. It's got a definite, tangible value, and we can therefore trade for something bigger and better.
Wish us luck, and feel free to ask for a trade or leave a comment!
