Ahem! - do you need to have a discussion inside about it?
Shopping goes better for me now that we have agreement to talk about it inside. Before shopping could be a total nightmare: I could get locked into buying/not buying something for hours - or I could end up like you with compulsively bought stuff on the table that didn't give me pleasure.

Do you think that young insiders want the Dr Pepper as an idea of something good, just like they wanted the expensive bear? Or do you enjoy Dr Pepper - in which case, I agree that you are worth whatever floats your boat !

You can take it back if there is something that you would like better, so there's no need to beat anyone up about it.
