Yes, unfortunately for their fans that goal is 2-14 or worse.

The Mets actually have a sponsor named Cheap-O Air?

I guess, next to Kars-4-Kids and YourMarketingSucks.com, it's not as embarrassing, but who would put their child on a plane with "Cheap-O" painted on the tail section?

Do any of you fly Cheap-O?

[Benjamin Grimm]

I thought that too at first, but Cheap-O isn't an airline; it's a ticket booking service.

[Edgy MD]

Ah, that makes it 23% less off-putting!

It's not a fly-by-night carrier at all! It's an aggregator of fly-by-night carriers! Whew!

So there's been this add running during the playoffs for a service that apparently ships you 'daily contact lenses', like it's a copy of these mail delivered razor blade companies or, I suppose, diapers.
But does anyone need a new set of contracts on a regular basis? What are these things, disposable?

I've never worn contacts so I may just be clueless, but there appears to be something here I'm not getting.

[Guest d'Kong76]

There are daily contacts now and ones that you clean nightly for two
weeks or so and then need replacing.

[Frayed Knot]

Seems odd to me that that could be a better/cheaper option than regular contacts which I assumed lasted for months? years?
I mean I assume these disposable types would be cheaper per set than more permanent ones, but in aggregate?

[Guest d'Kong76]

I've only worn the two-week ones (not a fan after a week) and the
daily ones. I wear glasses 70% of the time these days. Get my contacts
from Canada, gotta love Canada.

Sounds like I had no idea of the lifespan of contact lenses. I guess I always assumed they lasted much longer.

they make like, permanent ones that last a while and various others. I think the dailys are actually more expensive because they're meant to be disposable and you need like.. a lot of them.

My wife mostly wears glasses but she switched to daily contacts a while back because they aggravated her eyes less. I guess the idea is they have to be less sturdy/durable so they can make them a little thinner or something along those lines.

That's what I assumed. It never occurred to me that going through dozens of them a year, much less a new pair daily, would be a cost effective thing.
But I've never dealt with them so obviously I'm clueless here.
