Random: Graves Cleaning



Snapped at the local Target store recently...







WTF, mate?


Seriously, what the hell is "Graves Cleaning"?
Google failed to enlighten me.
Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

Michael Graves (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Graves) is an architect/designer who has designed various housewares and domestic goods exclusively for Target.

Or, it's Halloween, and everyone needs a nice shiny tomb for their party?

I admit, your answer is much more likely...

Wow, that's a more surreal answer to the mystery than I expected. Target is someplace I shop because it's affordable rather than because of specific product lines, and I can see Target shoppers maybe caring about a specific design style to furniture, but not necessarily cleaning-related stuff.

Having a brand/designer imbues a product with a sense of quality, beyond the usual association of Store Brand with Generic or Lower Quality.
