Consolation prize or desperate measure?

elfsI stopped by QFC and bought some ice cream. They were having a two-for-one sale on Dryer's brand, but only if one of the two was the seasonally available pumpkin-flavored. I can't figure out if that's a consolation ("You bought the pumpkin? Here, to make up for it, we'll give you something else free.") or a desperate maneuver to get the cooler cleared ("You bought some Dryers? Please, take one of the pumpkins! Just get it out of our store!").
Actually, it's not even that bad. Kouryou-chan likes it, but Yamaraashi-chan just wanted the vanilla. The pumpkin ice-cream tastes a lot like pumpkin pie, complete with natural spices, which are listed on the side: cinammon, cloves, nutmeg and ginger.
Lifehack of the week: use one grocery store and learn everybody's name who works there. Being able to shout, "Hey, Joe, I need a checker on aisle 3!" can really make a difference in your getting in and getting out without getting lost.
