Speaking of “Where’s the Beef” Panera has apparently came out with a bread sandwich, or at least with those two giant slices of toast, it is mostly bread- > **[Panerabread App | Panera Bread](https://www.panerabread.com/content/panerabread_com/en-us/menu/products/croque-monsieur-croissant-toast.html)** ---

To be fair, it looks to me like you’d only have to eat about half the bread. The other half would disintegrate into crumbs before you could get it in your mouth. ---

What’s with the Bulb Head ads for cheap junk they are foisting on us? Everything works great and is so high quality they guarantee for life! Then, immediately after the pitch, try to panic you into buying it because it is going to be discontinued any second and never available again!! Then How The Fuck are you going to replace it with that life-time guarantee??? Reminds me of a huckster that was selling cars out of a tent on a dirt lot claiming “Free Maintenance for Life!” ---

There is a whole class of annoying commercials hawking the use of AIs. Microsoft Copilot has a spot where a kid gets beaten by his father at chess, points his phone at the board, and asks how to do better. The next scene is his beating his father. I can’t figure out how that works unless he fell for a Fool’s Mate. You don’t tend to get identical positions. (Can’t find a link.) Then there is the one for the Adobe AI where the woman who runs a candy shop asks the AI to generate a newsletter about a new product and then sends it off apparently without reading it. Hope the newsletter talks about roaches (the insect kind) in the candy. Exactly how those lawyers got into trouble. As for music, there is a diaper commercial that uses “Born to be Wild” about the baby crawling around in a diaper he or she can’t get off. If we had only know what the edgy music of 60 years ago would become. NatLamp radio had a parody of Dylan hawking “Golden Protest.” Our imagination did not match the reality of him doing Victoria Secret ads. ---

> [@Voyager](#): > > There is a whole class of annoying commercials hawking the use of AIs. You just reminded me of a commercial playing constantly on some streaming channel a little while ago that would annoy the crap out of me. A Salesforce commercial (a CRM which I have some history with, as I do some development for it as part of my work duties, and it’s frustrating to say the least) has Matthew McConaghey in full pseudo-cowboy gear in a pixelated Western town saying “if AI is the Wild West, is data the new gold?” WTF, McConaughey?!? It’s just so stupid. Stick to shilling Lincolns if you _must_ do ads.

The Ryse mushroom coffee commercials. On the first level, we have the lady shocked to find a weird looking, vaguely sexual, mushroom stirring her coffee. is she hallucinating? Too many mushrooms? Are they going for the stoner croud, like Jack In The Box? Secondly, mushroom coffee sounds like it is trying to ride the magic mushroom vibe. The commercial seems like wink wink nudge nudge it is some near-stoner product, like CBD oil, that’s legal, but doesn’t actually do what it implies (it claims nothing).

> [@Just\_Asking\_Questions](#): > > The Ryse mushroom coffee commercials. Cute, but mushroom coffee is expensive and does nothing special. And there are side effects- _"a fiber found in many species of mushrooms called chitin can be difficult for some people to digest — leading to feelings of bloating and discomfort …“digestive discomfort, allergic reactions, and interactions with certain medications”_- and still caffeine, so if your Doctor says to cut back on coffee, mushroom coffee wont help. ---

> [@Ann\_Hedonia](#): > > WTF……..is the US really populated by people that load their dishwasher AFTER they’ve washed their dishes because they really think that large object in their kitchen is a storage cabinet or a drying rack? I guess if you have no cabinet space. We use our dishwasher, but I at least rinse dishes before they go into it. My parents got our first dishwasher in 1962 so I don’t really trust them. And my wife is even worse. She doesn’t believe they actually save water.
