Everyone seems to subscribe to the notion that nothing exceeds like excess, but it is getting right out of hand. I was shopping in Target, looking for new placemats. As always Target had a number of styles and patterns to choose from. Unfortunately, for me anyway, they were all enormous!
What is going on here? Why are placemats suddenly being supersized? Target is pretty quick to pick up on the latest trends, so this must be a sign of the times. I know that restaurants have been serving larger portions - a little more food cost to justify a much larger increase in serving price. But how does this translate into large placemats for home?
I guess if you bought furniture for your new McMansion, you bought a diningroom suite with a table the size of Rhode Island. In that case, these placemats would be just dandy.
