I’ve hunted up adverts from my past that I thought were hilarious at the time, and then wonder ‘Why?’. I assume this is fairly recent but how does it hold up? I’m not repelled, but I don’t see the very funny in it. ---

Banksimian: The mythological creatures in the focus group are all made up of combinations of two or more normal species, and have trouble wrapping their minds around a soda that’s a combination of two flavors in one soda. I know my wife would love that flavor. I hope I see it in stores soon. ---

I hope I see it in stores soon. Howdy I got the hybrid connection, which I thought was reasonably clever. It just didn’t make me laugh, which is how I read the OP’s reaction. And thanks for Banksimian - its perfect in this context! ---
