'K2 images / Shutterstock.com. Alas another Black Friday has come and gone – and I won’t miss it. Whether or not you choose to brave the masses and shop for deals on the day after Thanksgiving (or on Thanksgiving itself as was the big evolutionary step backward we took this year), I have a question: Do you in fact remember any of the stores or products behind the onslaught of marketing messages you were bombarded with in the days leading up to the big retail hunting season?
