A color sample, usually for paint or fabric. Those cards at the hardware store with all the paint colors, the books at the carpet store with all the samples of color and texture options, online fabric stores will send you collections of swatches before you buy yardage.
A small sample of a color. Paint stores, for example, have color swatches that are small squares of paper in the colors they offer so you can bring them home and see how they look in the room you’re painting before making a purchase. In this case, it’s a fake nail in the color of the polish so you can see what your hand would look like with a nail that color before buying it.
Fun fact: The hot dog soda combo has been $1.50 since 1985. At one point the CEO wanted to raise the price of the hot dog and soda combo and the founder straight up told him “if you raise the effing hot dog, I will kill you. Figure it out.”
It’s hilarious how many famous, greedy, capitalism condemning ballads get co-opted by greedy capitalists as their jams. Money from Pink Floyd especially.
It’s almost impossible to insult a capitalist for their greed, they just get new cruel ideas from it. Must be nice to live without the capacity for shame.
