Health & weight: What is vanity sizing?

Health & weight: What is vanity sizing?

When I was growing up, there were no clothes sized 0, much less 00. Something happened over the past few decades to cause the need for smaller sizes. The problem arose because manufacturers have been making women's clothes sizes fit increasingly larger bodies--a practice known as vanity sizing.

Snapple Makes a Sucker Out of Me

Image
Don't get me wrong. I like Snapple tea. I buy the Snapple Peach Ice Tea several times a year when it's on sale.

In my case it was followed by subsequent massive water damage when my washing machine hose burst in the night a few months later and pumped some 2500 gallons of water into my house. Like he did with me, Eric reportedly informed this family he was a licensed contractor. As he did with me, he allegedly told this family he would bring the documentation "another day" and never did. They were ...
