Again with the annoying commercials!

It’s truly the end of civilization.

“Schnitzel sack?” :smile:
The body deodorant ads have never bothered me but this is a bit much. Is it actually on tv?

I’ve only seen it on YouTube, but I thought it was worth sharing :grin:

Alka selter has a new one. Young woman has date nite coming up, but had a cold or flu. So, she takes the stuff, and goes out on the date- spreading her nasty germs.

I honestly think that cold medication companies that spread the dangerous lie that it is okay to take some drugs that make the symptoms better- but not the disease- and go out and socialize should be sued.

The Good Feet Store. Over all I hate these because if your feet are as bad as described in every single one of those commercials, maybe you should see a doctor. The one that takes the cake, and really irritates the living shit out of me, is the weeping guy.

Apparently Weeping Guy’s feet hurt so bad he sobs and asks the good lord to take him. :roll_eyes: THEN when the miraculous good feet store fixes his suicidal foot pain he sobs with relief, claims not to be an actor. He just wants all of us to know we can repair our crippling pain. < sob sob > Did I mention how much I hate that commercial?

A friend and I went to The Good Feet Store a few months ago. After n"examination" which consisted of measuring our feet and having us stand on a device which IIRC was supposed to be checking the weight distribution on our feet the “consultant” (or whatever he called himself) came up with three sets of cushions which we were supposed to use at various times of the day. He also tried to upsell us shoes. The cost of these cushions which were supposed to solve our health problems? $1700.00 - each. Not covered by a health insurance, of course. We said we’d “think about it” and left. The phrase “a snowball’s chance in hell” was used on the way to our next destination.

Good to know. If they can afford those slick ads, they must be making enuf money somehow.

I haven’t gone to one of their stores, but the outcome doesn’t surprise me much.
About the weight distribution thingy, can’t you do that at a lot of pharmacies? At least you used to. I haven’t seen one in a while.

That’s how I got my arch supports.

For a lot less than the good feet store. The last time I checked those were about $50. I bet you sobbed with relief, and told the good lord he didn’t need to take you anymore right? :wink:

Yow. My podiatrist sent me to Fleet Feet. They measured my feet and used that weight distribution/ arch height machine. I bought $100 shoe inserts from them that seem to do the job. The best part is (now I know what kind to get) that I can buy new ones from Amazon for $15 less.

I forget the product but a woman looks through the window of a closed shop and envisions how she will make it over. She wipes away the condensation so she can see better. But condensation happens on the inside of windows, not the outside.

I walked into a podiatrist’s office with SuperFeet in my shoes, and some pretty gnarly foot problems as well.

The doc was great. Measured, felt my meta-tarsals and my arch (and my toes?!?) and said my Superfeet were perfect except for a few spots. He picked out little pads and adhered them to specific places on the bottom of my budget orthotics (SuperFeet are great, and run about $40-50 at REI).

Presto! A half dozen foot problems went away within a week or so. I think the pads cost $20, and the appointment was covered.

And when she opens it- it is a children’s bookstore- which is great, but it has like one book per shelf.

That goddamn Burger King “You Rule” is STILL being used.

Mel-el-el-eelt

Been seeing an ad lately for some real estate company, which shows, naturally enough, a picture of a house. But the house has four garages, with enough room for six cars. The entire first floor of the (very large) house is taken up entirely by garages.

I kind of suspect it’s an AI generated image.

Not necessarily.

Of course. You need a garage for all the stuff that gets stored in the garage that keeps you from using it for cars, and a garage that you convert into an additional living space, and then a garage for your cars.

My dad’s house had a 4-car garage, which, thanks to a lift and a little Tetris, at times contained up to six cars.

Reminds me of the review on Amazon for a 50-gallon drum of lubricant. “It spilled in the driveway, but I can now fit two cars in my one-car garage!”
