Step 1: Sell Tainted peanut butter. Step 3: Profit

My mother just alerted me to a phonecall she received from Costco, telling her to throw out the Luna Bars she’d bought months back due to the possibility of salmonella contamination — which got me thinking.

Was this phonecall to help customers avoid sickness, or a sales tactic?

Think about it.

More Luna Bars thrown away means more Luna Bars bought now as replacements.

Is Costco pulling a fast one on their customers?
