Advertising Is Good For You

So much to love about this Oreo video

Beautifully animated video. Great song. And answers to questions like, What would happen if I gave an Oreo to a vampire?

Transparency can be a very funny thing

This commercial is based on the premise that transparency isn't always the best policy. Except when it comes to Oscar Mayer's see-through packaging.

Yeah, I know. It's a stretch.

But it's a funny spot.

Have you seen this commercial for Post Shredded Wheat?

Most people eat shredded wheat either because they're dieting or they're constipated. So when the woman in the ad suggests you add fruit for "more taste in your bowl," you know which bowl I'm thinking about.

Have always adored the jars Bonne Maman jams come in

Whoever thought of Bonne Maman's red checked jar lid was a genius.

Wish I knew who did this illustration so I could give him/her credit.

By the way, Bonne Maman makes the best raspberry jam.

Objectifying men isn't the kind of gender equality most women would prefer

This campaign is meant to be tongue-in-cheek (I hope), but I still find it cringe-worthy. 

"Once you go Italian, you'll never go back. Kraft. Let's get zesty."

"The only thing better than dressing is undressing. Kraft. Let's get zesty."

And what's with the word zesty? It's so 1950s. It's the kind of word you use when you want to appeal to people with bland palates.

A zombie chocolate bunny

Very improbable, I know. Most chocolate bunnies are devoured before they have time to turn.

Yes, Virginia, there such a thing as zombies.
