That's when I noticed the price. Dora was 20 cents more than SpongeBob. I put the bottle back and investigated further: same brand, same kind of soap, same amount of soap. Did Dora hold out for more money to support a secret crack habit? Does the magic backpack get a cut? Does she have a domineering father reminiscent of Tiger's or Venus and Serena's who takes a bit right off the top? Does she live in an area with a higher income tax than the bottom of the sea? Or are we witnessing a simple example of demand driving price, with Dora soap able to carry a higher price point due to better sales? Am I just an idiot?
We may never know.
