ATTN: Chicagoans--were these real chicks?

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

I’m looking at the back page of the “Family” section of the Sunday, April 9 Chicago Tribune. It’s a full-page ad for Spring Hill Mall, Routes 31 & 72, out in West Dundee.

The ad says, along with the usual drivel, "Fill your basket with a Downy Chirping Chick!"

I didn’t think people did this anymore; I thought it was something we had outgrown as a culture, the way we outgrew the need to look for Commies under the bed.

So, what’s the skinny, Chicagoans? Are they still living in the Dark Ages out in the Western Territories, giving away live chicks and bunnies at Easter? Or is it just a come-on, and what you actually get is some kind of Made in China wind-up toy?

Just asking. :slight_smile:

Oopsie, I see I didn’t make it clear. I should have added that the ad says, “Free with the Holiday Collection Package. While supplies last.”

I agree that in these times, calling Chicago’s female population, “Honey,” “baby,” and especially the aforementioned “chicks” is outdated, sexist and disturbing.

Shame on them! Shame!
