It’s an Albany expression.
I apologize for more Skittles foolishness, but since I went looking for the ‘acid barrel’ commercial (that turned out to actually be a Starburst commercial), I just saw this commercial for Chocolate Skittles show up in my YT feed, which I’ve never seen before, and it gave me a chuckle:
I’m just like everyone else!
This was a commercial that actually horrified me. And that aint easy to do.
I dunno if I hate, hate, hate, but I am with you- mild scents only- or none.. Maybe they think the stench of Downey will cover up their BO?
Yeah- no.
I like that actor and the ad, but yeah it is dog food. You feed it to your dog, right?
Now if the complaint was “spoiling your dog by keeping the food in the fridge!!!” I could buy it.
Heh? How is refrigerating your dog’s food spoiling them?
Well, not keeping it in the refrigerator will spoil the food
I think the premise is that dog food that needs to be refrigerated, as opposed to just kept in a cabinet at room temperature, is “premium” and thus considered upscale.
I almost made that joke too. I don’t remember my old dog’s thoughts on the matter but I know my cats won’t eat anything straight out of the fridge.
My cat gets half a can of food in the morning and another half can in the evening. The morning leftovers go into the refrigerator with a plastic lid on the can, and are taken out with enough time to return to room temp before his evening meal. Occasionally I’ll forget to take the can out, and when I put the bowl of cold food on the floor he sniffs at it and glares at me before walking away. He hasn’t yet clutched his throat and made gagging noises. Yet.
Commercials for canned cat food always have the owner neatly breaking up the contents into the bowl as if a creature designed to rip flesh from bones needs help with the gelatinous canned crap.
I hate the Paypal commercial with Will Farrell at the lemonade stand. He’s not funny to begin with and in this commercial he comes off as a real butthole.
I can’t find the commercial online, probably for very good reason, but many years ago, probably ca. 2000, there was some kind of product that had a commercial that was VERY briefly in pretty heavy rotation. It showed what happened to people who didn’t use it; one man was about to be lowered headfirst into a boiling cauldron, and another person was being dragged by a horse over rocks.
The jingle annoys me the most. At least they quit running the longer version with more scenarios and the same jingle after each.
Freshpet isn’t even all that premium. The Farmer’s Dog is on a higher tier – being shipped frozen direct to the human(s) – and they don’t insist on not calling their product “dog food”.
I don’t mind him as much, but whoever wrote that one wasn’t paying attention. First he calls the stand “shady”, and the kid calls him “mister”, and then he calls the kid by name, like he’s a neighbor and knows him. Continuity, people!
It’s not “a jingle”, it’s a Fleetwood Mac song with one word changed.
Can’t it be both?
I suppose it can - but in my experience, people don’t flat out call it “a jingle” when it’s a preexisting song with possibly a couple of words changed. They are usually referred to as “used as a jingle” - even in the Wikipedia article for “Jingle” this appears
In August 2016, The Atlantic reported that in the United States, the once popular jingle was now being replaced by advertisers with a mixture of older and recent pop music to make their commercials memorable. In 1998, there were 153 jingles in a sample of 1,279 national commercials; by 2011, the number of jingles had dropped to eight jingles out of 306 commercials.[4]
which makes a distinction between “jingles” and the popular music that replaced them.
Jardiance has a jingle.
Ozempic does not.
Disagree.
The annoying “Oh, oh, oh, Ozempic” tune is definitely a jingle. The fact that it’s based on an old pop song is immaterial.
A nit: the song was by Pilot, not Fleetwood Magic.
