Just out of curiosity, isn’t this product now available year-round or am I thinking of another brand of small orange-colored citrus fruit? Named for something you’d see over the head of a Angel. Not _Cuties_, which are fine. ---

> [@BeeGee](#): > > Speaking of being an asshole about it, I’m going to be. It’s not a commercial, but it is from a business. This time of year, I get hundreds of emails from the companies I use during the year wishing me Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, Happy Holidays, etc. Stop it. I want my business email address to be about BUSINESS. And business only. I am trying to get OUT of here for crying out loud. It will be much easier if I didn’t have to wade through 25 e-mails this morning from vendors wishing me a happy Thanksgiving. You know what I’m giving thanks for, Large Equipment Company in Atlanta? I’m giving thanks that I’m not dealing with your incompetent salesman who can’t even read his email correctly. . Scrooge. ---

My most hated commercials this time of year are all of the ones that are begging for money by showing starved/abused animals/kids. It doesn’t make any sense to try to get money out of folks at a time of year when they are going to be the busiest and most cash strapped, and it just makes the whole season even worse. Not to mention that sending money to these places isn’t going to fix the problems they are showing. I am now muting all of those as well as the Liberty Mutual ads. Sometimes I forget to turn the sound back on - don’t think I’m missing much! 😃 ---

I was just wondering because there’s already a hated commercials thread in Cafe Society that has been going for quite awhile. ---

I loathe Sonic commercials, but the Christmas burrito commercial is extra gaggy. ---

> [@DrDeth](#): > > See, a perfect example of why nothing should be in the pit, since this sort of infantile hijack will occur, often multiple times. Oh, piffle. It’s fairly obvious that the Pitizens have taken this thread to their hearts, and what you’re calling “hijacks” are simply attempts to render it unsuitable for **CS** or **MPSIMS**. It’s like if you want to leave the lunchroom at work to go unjam the copier for the boss\*, but you don’t want anyone to steal your cupcake. So you make sure everyone sees you licking the frosting. \*because in this analogy, bosses are helpless morons who need the simplest tasks handled for them. ---

> [@Hopeful\_Crow](#): > > I believe they are sold year-round now but I don’t think I’ve seen the commercials other than at Christmastime. Usually, I’m pretty good at tuning commercials out so **Jeep’s Phoenix** may be correct in that they air all year long. The times I’ve noticed them seem to be around this time of year, though, and they’ve really rubbed me the wrong way. And Jeep’s Phoenix is right, the brand name does make the premise all the worse. I just visited this company’s website, and it turns out that the things are seasonal. Also, their logo/mascot is incredibly sarcastic-looking. ---
