I've been sitting here at home pretty immobile and I've had nothing to do but watch TV and think about all the strange food commercials they have on TV. Especially the cereal commercials. Here are some examples:
1. I think everyone has seen the cannibalistic Cinnamon Toast Crunch commercials out there and would agree with me when I say they are so wrong. O.o There's also another thing wrong with the commercial. When a cereal square eats another cereal square, their stomaches don't get bigger AT ALL. They're the same size too so when a cereal square eats one of it's brothers, they should grow at least a little, right?
2. Hebrew National takes pride in their hot dogs because they are kosher. Yay, good for them! Do hot dogs normally have dairy products in them?
3. Lucky Charms and Trix commercials always fustrate me. You know why? Because the leprechaun and rabbit never get the dang cereal! I think the kids need to stop being so selfish and share the cereal.
4. When you eat Fruit Roll-Ups, your tongue is supposed to grow according to the commercials. Well, when I eat Fruit Roll-Ups, I wait a long time for my tongue to grow, but it never does. Isn't that false advertising or something?
5. Last, but not least is the very disturbing Pops cereal commercial I see every once in a while. Aliens invade this farm and with their abduction beams, they flip a cow over and beam the milk right from the udders. The cow is mooing for it's life so I want to jump right into the commercial and give those aliens a piece of my mind!
Those are my thoughts on some of the food commercials. Are there any commercials that you think are kind of odd? If so, please share! You will not be discriminated against. :-)
Ha, I haven't seen several of those commercials, but I can believe it.
ReplyDeleteOne thing about #2. Keeping kosher doesn't just mean not mixing meat and dairy. Certain parts of cows (or any otherwise kosher animal) are considered non-kosher. That means no filet mignon or sirloin, for instance. That's why the Hebrew National commercials have the diagram showing they only use meat from the front half of the cow. Also, the animal has to be slaughtered in a particular way.

Ahh...I suppose I should have done a little more research before posting...At least I'm educated on keeping kosher now, thanks to you. :-)
