Sadly, that's why it's there.
Ever noticed the other impulse items. Like lighers by the charcoal, straws
in the drink isle. Not as many as in the proper place, but enough to get
shoppers to think "Hey, I might need one of those".
It's a wierd game.

Yeah, and sometimes I have to wonder about some of the logic
involved in placing impulse items on the displays of standard
items. e.g. disposable diapers near the beer. The obvious
conclusion would be that either the diapers are supersized or
the kid is drinking beer...but in fact allegedly folks who
drop in quick to buy beer often do so because there are kids
at home or in the car doing what kids do when fed.
