Imagine you are standing in a big supermarket. The snacks you love best are right where your eyes naturally look. If they put them on the bottom floor near your feet or high up near the ceiling, you might forget to buy them. Stores know this secret. They pay extra to get their most popular treats into that golden middle spot called eye level. This is not random luck. It is a smart way to sell more candy and cookies. When something sits right in front of your nose, it feels like the best choice. So next time you walk past a shelf, look up or down to see if you can find cheaper options hiding away.
Examples
- The chocolate bar sits right in front of your face at the checkout.
- You look up to find cereal because it is too high for the kids to reach.
- Mom picks the soup can she sees first instead of searching the bottom shelf.
