Here’s how stupid I am. I pride myself in picking out actors and actresses across their work, like, hey that museum docent in that one commercial is Rapunzel in that other commercial. So there I am watching the little girl telling Officer Powell about not making the dance team and I said, “hey, that’s that same kid who got the puppy in that other commercial.”
I’m good at it, I tell you.
Me too! Unfortunately my husband is a hater so I don’t get it too often.
Made with soy milk, almond butter, and comes with a packet of funfetti to sprinkle over the top.
Look out, republicans!
I once read a story in which an older guy had to cook a meal for a teenage girl, and, remembering what his son had liked made mac and cheese. He thought of it as “teenager chow”.
Are we still talkin’ bout Mac n’ Cheese?
Speaking of “woke”, has anyone else noticed the “Never Back Down” commercials promoting Ron De(mon)Santis?
We’re talking about comfort. I mean comfort food! 
I know this is not the “identify a story” thread, but I think that’s “Anna’s Story” from the Grantville Gazette story collection. And i liked it too. (and I eat Mac-n-cheese on a regular basis–codger’s chow).
Press on.
It’s the national meal of Canada!
I was travelling last November and went to Universal Studios in Orlando. A small section of the theme park was closed for filming something. I could hear some of the music, and I’m pretty sure it was that Jardiance commercial.
And now I want macaroni.
Thanks.
it wasn’t specifically about mac and cheese - but one time when I was about 9, the subject of my eating preferences came up at a family gathering, and an aunt said in her most patronizing tones, “well, children love pasta”.
She was already not a favorite relative, and that comment confirmed my dislike.
I am still very fond of pasta in its various forms, cheesy or not.
Not having seen the dancer one, I didn’t know it was a series! I can picture the next commercial:
TV Dad (laying down newspaper to reveal he’s holding a gun against the puppy’s head, still with the same big grin on his face):
I told you, you can save hundreds if you switch to Progressive, and now you can save your puppy too!
You got it!
I just saw that one for the first time. Coulda been a teaching moment, Mom!
Spectrum is running a commercial touting their high wifi speeds in which a man starts doing a wild victory dance because he was able to defeat his opponent in a video game. At some point his jeering becomes directed toward the front window, where it is revealed that he has been playing against the teenager across the street (who is watching him as if someone has kicked his dog).
“Doggie paddle”? Woman, I was on my high school swim team. I play water polo. I can tread water with just my legs for better and longer than you can swim with your whole body.
*Ok, not me, and I know one version has her say “show off” before he calls for help, but “doggie paddle” is a different version where he doesn’t call for help.
Well, that’s gonna get old quick.
Yeah, I watched about five seconds of that song… and my first thought was “Oh, no, they’re going to be playing that during NFL games, aren’t they?”
Fresh Pet, yes, the lady has got to go. “You keep dog food in your fridge?”
But not because she insists Fresh Pet is dog food. Fresh Pet, yes, you are “dog food”. Saying otherwise doesn’t stress that you’re better, it just makes you sound stupid.
“It’s not shelf-stable muck from food byproducts, it’s real food prepared for dogs. It needs to be refrigerated just like most real meat products.”
NOT “It’s not dog food, it’s Fresh Pet.”
Then you kick her out for being a judgemental prissy-pants who thinks you are weird for caring what you feed your dog or how you keep it.
