187. Arsenal


From, “How a Rubber Giraffe Became a Jet-Setter,” by Christina Passariello, 3/8/12, The Wall Street Journal:

In the arsenal of branded products that now accessorize babyhood, it's easier to understand why parents spend more for a complex item like the Bugaboo stroller—or for a baby clothing line from a designer such as Stella McCartney—than for a rubber teether. With its brown spots, pink cheeks and black eyes, Sophie is simple: It squeaks when squeezed. Every Sophie is made in a small factory in eastern France.

Arsenal: a store or supply
