when marketing DoEsN't lie.

most of the time i am skeptical to ads & commercials. i usually get sucked in pretty easily but at the heart of things, i know they are things i can live without. however, when traveling with my dad to arizona a week or so ago, i discovered one of the best & most honest ads for a product:


"once you pop you can't stop."

have you ever heard anything more true?

funny! we'd agree with you. if a bag of chips is open in our home, more than likely, it's gone.

I really laughed at your Arizona post!!! Is it really that bad? For some people, I know it is. I'm going to have a pool someday and I'll spend all summer in it, but I'm an Arizonan at heart so it doesn't bother me....seriously! (people don't believe me)

Welcome to Arizona - it will be fun to get together with you sometime. I can't say I think it is terrible because we are so far south in Tucson, but we were in Phoenix last weekend and I about died at how hot it was at night - good luck with that! And I also love pringes, but I don't like them because the canister shows you just how much you've actually eaten whereas the bag chips, it just a rough guess.

I'm totally with you on this one. Here are a few more truth-telling ads that come to mind:

Olive Garden - "When You're Here, You're Family" (so true - I always leave there feeling loved, well-fed and fat)

And from what I understand, Rice A Roni really is the SanFrancisco treat.
