Everyone she sees. Like earlier she saw someone and told them, and the day before she was in a town and told a whole bunch of people.
It’s worse - someone has made candy that looks exactly like the Tide pods.
They have bright colors like some types of hard candy, lollipops, etc.
Man, so many colors of wrong, and I want to buy some. Fortunately, I have no real lust for non-chocolate based candy.
Og holy fuck, what the hell were they thinking???
Do you have children?
You cite says Kids said they look like candy. Yes and my left foot can scratch the back of my head. Kids say all kind of things. That means nothing but a fair guess.
Kids(young children) don’t need access to these things at all. If they are don’t blame the product, blame the parent or minder.
Teenagers will push every boundary they are set.
How do I know these things? I have 6 siblings. 4 children…6 grandkids. There’s not much I haven’t seen.
No one. Not one, ever ate laundry detergent. My brother washed the dog in it once. They both lived.
I remember when my kids were little there’s was a warning about the sparkly bits in some detergent being an attractant to children. They might play in the powder and get the shiny bits in their eye. Well, I just never bought it. Put the detergent I had on a higher shelf. Didn’t need one cite to tell me that.
Candy cigarettes went away. This will too.
Gummi candies are another thing here to stay.
Y’all remember the suckers with the hard sticks. Then they had the ropey one. Tootsie pop held the line. Dum dum pops too. So yeah these warnings come and go.
Maybe the first warning they should listen to is: “don’t give your kids loads of candy” signed: your child’s Dentist, your dental insurance company, and your future Adult child. Helps everyone.
Back to the thread.
Haribo gummi bear commercial with the football players talking in kids voices weirds me out.
Safelite windshield repair/replacement.
Two guys who get positively giddy with happiness over getting a windshield crack. Then they get to go to Safelite! Lots of sound bites and quick cuts, no scene lasting longer than two seconds. And these two guys are so full of happy energy that they are over the top every step of the way. The commercial ends with the two singing the Safelite jingle out of harmony and off-key.
I dunno. To me, a crack in my windshield means, “Oh crap!” instead of “Oh boy!”
I’ve seen two commercials with these two ‘bros’. They are both so loud and screamy and I think the commercial is going for that Tic Toc demo. I can’t stand them.
Agree. They’re going for that whole “influencer” thing. Annoysville.
That’s twice they’ve had to get their windshield fixed/replaced. I don’t think I’ll ride with them.
I’ve only seen the version with execs in a board room talking in kids voices. They have been airing that endlessly for the last year up here in the Great White North. It’s not a bad concept (at least it seemed so the first fifty times) but the effect is kind of ruined because they use the same little kid’s voice for all four adults.
Apparently there’s an element of pushing boundaries, kinda like candy cigarettes or chewing tobacco style chewing gum. I don’t know all the reasons, but there are recipes going around to make your own Ride Tide pod candy.
I suspect at least part of the motivation is the bright colors and fancy pattern. Looks a bit like elaborate lollipops. Then you add in the edginess of trying to look dangerous, whatever.
I have no idea why the Tide pod challenge started, as I don’t follow these things and wasn’t aware of it.
Yes, but shit happens. People get sloppy, your college kid comes home to do laundry and spills one, whatever.
The colors make it enticing. Make it less enticing. Doesn’t cost much to stop using bright colors.
Yeah, annoying as shit.
Also, imagine that, a duo out to make Safelite commercials get a windshield crack.
Also the Vrbo ads with sketchy people doing sketchy things as opposed to renters terrified that the host is going to show up. Gimme the hosted version.
As I recall, it was originally a joke in The Onion. As in, “This is such an incredibly stupid idea that no one would ever do it.” Unfortunately, some people are that stupid.
But then how will people avoid getting hassled by asshole local cops?
To add insult to injury, this is in addition to, not instead of, the already annoying end-of-commercial jingle.
Also I will point out that Safelite has terrible service.
Amen.
I was on the road and got a chip in my windshield. I drove right to a Safelite shop and was told I need to make an appointment two weeks out. I finally did get the chip fixed at a different Safelite shop when I was off the road and not only did I get stuck in their waiting room for six hours, they fucked up the sensor calibrations.
Yikes!
I can suggest America Glass. I consulted with them briefly, they fixed my chip for free. Came out the next day, fixed it quickly and I can barely see it.
I’m not sure this counts as a commercial, tho it’s an ad that runs frequently when I play freebie games on my tablet.
A woman stands in front of her pantry that’s crammed with random groceries arranged in a haphazard fashion. Next thing we see, she’s pouring the contents of various boxes and bags into assorted clear containers resulting in an amazingly tidy pantry! Cool.
Of course, she could have taken the sack of potatoes off the leaning pile of cereal boxes and generally just organized what was in there instead of spending a buttload of money on assorted plastic boxes.That’s what works for me. But maybe I’m missing something.
Honestly, I’m just hoping stuff’s labeled! Mistaking pancake mix for flour (for example) would not be good. I’ve seen one on Bored Panda where someone got so precious about her “aesthetic” in her kitchen that she had both the coffee beans and the somewhat similar looking pet food in UNLABELED glass jars, and they were both stored near the coffee equipment. Three guesses what her poor husband did first thing in the caffeine-deficient morning.
