Response to "Another Class-Influenced Thought Experiment"

This post regards a really interesting way of viewing our conversation on the way consumerism and production run our society.  It is true, holidays have taken a turn  away from  their religious meanings and have become a huge part of our society in a consumerism way.  Certain products come out in massive amounts during certain holidays and then you rarely see them on the self until the holiday is back again.  I wonder how this effects the producers who make these products, do the candy corn makers or Santa hat companies only get one shot at making  the big bucks a year?
