Story Exchange
Occasionally we buy things for the emotional reaction it gives us – usually to make us feel happy – the term retail therapy has been derived from the uplifting feeling buying something can give us. However these emotional reactions are often short lived but the product we have bought remains. The Story Exchange questions the need for a product to give us this emotional charge and replaces the product with story or a joke and something we can continue to exchange with others prolonging the emotional reaction.
