Two years ago, Mykala and I ate a life alteringly great watermelon. The darn thing made you ask questions like “What is truth?” and “Have I known beauty until now?” Ever since, we’ve been on a watermelon quest. Today, we have matched that previously awe-inspiring watermelon: we just had a (part of a gigantic) “Little Bear” brand seedless watermelon (#4032). I didn’t ask any big life questions, but did ask where it was from. Target. Hmm.
File this one under “really random factoids.” In the Wikipedia article about Target is a paragraph that caught me completely off guard:
In 2006, The Washington Post revealed that Target is operating two sophisticated criminal forensics laboratories, one at their headquarters in Minneapolis, the other in Las Vegas, NV. Originally, the lab was created as an internal need for the company to investigate instances of theft and fraud and other criminal actions that have occurred on its own properties. Eventually, the company began offering pro bono services to law enforcement agencies across the country. Target’s Forensic Services has assisted agencies at all levels of government, including Federal agencies such as the United States Secret Service, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The labs have become such a popular resource for law enforcement that Target has had to restrict the cases it assists in to only violent felonies.
Target is like Toys “R” Us for twentysomethings.
Target Pharmacy - Amazing labeling system for pharmaceuticals that Target rolled out a couple of years ago. Also, I haven’t been able to find it, but they have this fantastic logo for their pharmacy that looks like a pill, and the little specs in one side are tiny Target logos. I thought it was really eye catching, both from far away and up close.
