Is it just me or do you sit around talking to the tv? Not like a psycho.
Example:
Commercial for weight loss pills says " Want big pants?" and I say, no.
I saw a Prosgresso (Soup) commercial for the first time the other day.

The above link is the Facebook page for Progresso
Scenario:
Lady wearing a wedding dress in the grocery mart lifts and places a can to her ear. She "calls"
Progresso chef "answers" the can phone. A conversation takes place.
Bride: I look great in my wedding dress thanks to your soup
Chef: They're the only one's endorsed by Weight Watchers
....Blah blah, talking about the soup....
Chef: So, whens the BIG day?
Bride:Oh, I got married YEARS ago. The point is, I fit then! (chuckle,giggle)
Chef:Are you wearing it- (Bride interrupts)
Bride: Right now?! Yes!
Chef: Well good for you...
Commercial ends with Bride sliding her train out of the grocery isle and being compleminted.
My response to this commercial was, Yeah, it's TOTALLY normal to wear your wedding dress every day for YEARS while talking into a soup can in the grocery store! I think the lady should be looking over her shoulder because I get the feeling she'll either end up divorced or the men in white coats will come and take her away.
Bottom line, I hate this commercial. Progresso soup is actually not bad but with ads like that....I don't really wanna buy it.
progresso is the one thing i ate the only time i've puked since i was thirteen or so. ok no, it wasn't the soup that did it, but it didn't stop me from it either. and it was a mess to clean up.
ReplyDeletecome to think of it, it was some kind of "wedding" soup like "italian wedding" or whatever.
anyway, yeah if i saw an ad about someone wearing a wedding dress talking on the can, i'd prob puke. no, come to think of it, i don't care...
