I can't stand it- Campbell's Soup Commercial

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
1

OK- I can’t stand it anymore. That series of Campbell’s soup commercials where the guy is slurping soup making revolting mmmm, snurffle, gulp noises. :eek: It just came on twice while I had some TV on while I folded laundry.

I actually levitate from where ever I am and turn-off the TV when that living nightmare of a commercial comes on. From the first gulp-snuffle my whole body is one revolted twitchy nerve. Even writing this post is making me feel all twitchy!Switching channels is not fast enough. Must Turn Off TV.
I have a strong aversion to eating noises to begin with, but the sound of that guy working his soup actually makes me feel nauseated.

OK- group therapy time: Someone tell me that these commercials can’t be on TV for much longer…

Anyone… anyone…?

That’s it. All I had to share today.

It’s the ones with John Lithgow that send me diving for the remote. I can’t stand that guy. But then again, I don’t remember seeing the ones you are describing, and I would remember something that gross.

The guy in these commercials works in an office and is walking around his office or is in a meeting while eating. blech.

I know the one. In the middle of a meeting, this guy is polishing off a microwave cup of Campbell’s Tomato Soup, enjoying it to an almost orgasmic degree. Then he tilts up the cup and slurps the last of it down. He sets the cup down, and he has two big arcs of tomato soup on his cheeks. The maroon is surprised to see everyone staring at him.

The poor schlub must have a pretty bleak menu at home, to get that excited about canned soup.

Oh, yes, I remember now. He reminds me of the same shlub who open Cheetos? Cheez Its? in the office and the whole room gets filled with orange powder.

What’s a “maroon?”

A maroon is Bugs Bunny’s version of moron.

Eating noises in commercials make me nauseous. I have not seen the described ad and am hopeful that I never will. There are other commercials that gross me out like this. Such as some ad for a $2.99 value meal where they show the guy eating microscopic servings but with mega-sized slurping, chewing and gulping. The advertiser is doing his client a disservice as far as I’m concerned.

How about that one where two young men with these atrocious accents are glorfing down giant sandwiches, talking with the mouths full the whole time about how good they are? They’re supposed to be unintelligible; they’ve got subtitles going so you can read the inanities these guys are grunting out as they smack and gobble their food.

It makes me want to retch.

Slurping and lipsmacking in afood commercial is a great turnoff for me as well. The worst by far though was when I was sitting on the toilet in a public restroom stall and facing me was a poster advertising Chunky Beef Stew.

I will never, as long as I live, be able to escape the association of Chunky Beef Stew with the contents of a public restroom stall. :: barfs ::
