Most inane product display box ever
A lot of the things we sell come in boxes that have marketing copy printed on them, and sometimes even a price tag. These boxes make life easy because instead of having to make up a long list of reasons why you should buy this item, it's right there on the box.

We recently got in a skid of Amflo air hoses. These are nice, all fluorescent orange so you won't trip over them and equipped with brass quick-connect couplers.

The box they come in says they're great for use with air compressors.

Hmm...anyone in the market for an air hose knows you use it with an air compressor.

1. But if you DON'T know what it is, maybe it's helpful...
Keeps guys shopping at Lowe's from buying them thinking they're garden hoses, maybe?

:shrug:

2. I guess you could also use it for a pretty snazzy mooring line.
