Does “rickety old” really add anything to your point? Wouldn’t it have been just as good to say “long enough ago for a young woman who remembers it from her youth to be a grandma by now?”
Not to make a big deal about it, but just to encourage a moment’s thought before posting such things.
This Publix commercial just puzzles me. Even after reading the description, I don’t understand it.
You know, I have seen a single “car as a gift” commercial this year, which I would expect to see 100 times during football. Maybe they finally caught on to the backlash.
Nope, they’re still showing this truck one. You’re just lucky. I wish I were so lucky, too. I hate the both of the characters.
That’s really dumb, though not quite as bad as the little girl that keeps her snowman in the freezer all year. What’s up with that?
What about the Duluth Trading Company “pass the pants, fork over the flannels” one?
And is the M&Ms “he is real - they are real” one considered glurge?
The one where the book store burns down and the girl takes her red wagon door to door collecting books to restart the store.( I think the commercial is selling hemorrhoid* cream or something.)
How does that work for tax purposes? His whole inventory of books is donated, does he have to declare that somehow?
*maybe trucks actually, just makes me think of hemorrhoids
I saw that one for the first time last night and I confess I teared up.
So they’re donating his own sold books back. Does that mean they are going to re-buy them, as they no longer have them? Or is he just going to have lot of inventory that won’t sell because everyone’s already read them? Seems more cruel than helpful.
