Anybody Else Getting Junk From Wal-Mart?

I seemed to be having more and more things I have to return to Wal-Mart because they are junk. Recently: Inflatable swimming pool that leaks air the second time we use it. Sprinkler that ended up being assembled upside down, so it sprayed at the ground (I blame myself a little bit for not looking at it more closely in the store, but it should not have made it to the shelf), and a Y splitter for outside faucet with independent shut offs on each side of the Y had one of the shut off knobs come off after a couple of weeks of use and water sprayed all over the place.

I do a large percentage of my shopping at Wal-Mart, so is this just a trend of merchandise in general or is Wal-Mart just selling junk?

Farley's Gummy Bears

A friend bought a five pound bag of Farley's Gummy Bears. He brought them in to share partly because he is a generous guy and partly because he had to unload these travesties of gelatin candy.

I love gummy candy and I love to eat, but these things were very difficult for even me to stomach. It was not for the lack of trying. I ate many of these, trying to make them enjoyable, but they just made my stomach hurt.
