PAUL SCHRAG: BURT VISITS THE TASTE OF TACOMA >>>

Burt's-Bees Oh man. Burt’s Bees is coming to Tacoma, and it’s going to be all festival like. The Burt’s Bees Bee-Utify Your World Mobile Tour will be at Point Defiance Park today starting at 11 a.m. Apparently, Burt’s Bees is celebrating 25 years for The Greater Good as part of this year’s Bee-Ufity Your World Mobile Tour. The Greater Good is a grassroots, interactive experience that provides educational one-on-one activities and product experiences. Translation: they’re promoting hand creams and stuff.

No doubt after a veritable orgy of hand and foot massages, Burt’s Bees representatives will introduce a new marketing package that replaces the plural for bee â€" “bees” â€" with plain old “bee” â€"  like “I got attacked by 50 bee.” Marketing and promotional materials will cause slight confusion, but by the end of the day, most Taste of Tacoma goers will have accepted the meme, and will return home to annoy and confuse their families.
