I can buy that these things 'lift', but they sure don't 'separate'. And the way the models hoist, jiggle and fondle their boobs must make this a fave with men of all ages 😉 That Honeylove bra is something created for the thousands of women who hate wearing "regular" bras but need something fancier than a sports bra while appearing "seamless." By regular bra, I mean the wired, molded cup ones sold at Victoria's Secret and department stores. Those bras suck for everyone not blessed to actually be a matrix size (32A-40DD) and who's breasts are the exact shape of the mold. The target demographic for the bra is women who are not all that concerned with having the girls be separate. They care more for making sure no one can see the bra underneath their clothes. Which cracks me up for a $70 piece of clothing. I don't care if someone sees my bra, or a seam, or can detect the lace through my top. For the times when I do want to appear seamless, I use a slip or a camisole. 1 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2776-say-what-commercials-that-made-us-scratch-our-heads/page/235/#findComment-8424608

I think that because there are so many cover bands performing at events around the area, I thought they were pulling a fast one even though her picture was on the screen.

dleighg August 16 Share August 16 I've recently been seeing ads for "Bluechew." The first ones I saw showed voluptuous young women in somewhat revealing dress talking about how the loved bluechew for their "man." The newer one I just saw had a person with a mic asking young people on the street whether they had heard of bluechew. One young woman sort of purred "oh yes, it's great." Yes, it's for ED. I don't have a wealth of experience, but every 20-something young man I've ever, um, been involved with had no need for ED treatment. So is this sort of pushing an unnecessary drug on people who think it will make them "extra special"? I also saw the fine print on the screen which seemed sketchy. I found it on the website: "The chewable treatments offered through the BlueChew.com portal are compounded treatments not independently approved by the FDA. The chewable tablets are made with the same active ingredients (sildenafil, tadalafil, and vardenafil) used in the FDA-approved medications Viagra®, Cialis®, and Levitra®. The chewable tablets prescribed by the BlueChew-affiliated providers are compounded for patients by state-licensed compounding pharmacies when the commercially available options are not viable." 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2776-say-what-commercials-that-made-us-scratch-our-heads/page/235/#findComment-8436294

This is over the course of about 35 years of driving; if it's happening twice to the characters in the commercial in a fairly short period of time, that's less likely, but, as said, it's all down to luck (and how well they maintain the roadways in the areas you drive; some highways have more bits of small debris on them than average), and those two replacements of mine weren't even a year apart.

Lisa418722 August 18 Share August 18 The first windshield I had to have replaced was when the little boy next door was hitting golf balls with a baseball bat. One hit my windshield and his father had a friend who replaced it for me. Then I was driving past someone weed-eating and a rock hit my windshield and I had to get it fixed. I didn't realize it until later in the day that it chipped. I think I just had it sealed by Safelight. The third one just appeared. I have no idea what happened other than I noticed it. I called my insurance company and used Safelight. They kept asking me how it happened and I have no idea. I'm assuming a rock hit my windshield, but I can't say when or where it happened. A few years ago a car in the other lane hit a rock and it cracked the vent window. I had the window tinted so it didn't go down into the door, but it did shatter. Once again Safelight to the rescue. I am a fan of Safelight. 3 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2776-say-what-commercials-that-made-us-scratch-our-heads/page/235/#findComment-8437676

To be fair, they do show a visual of a hand holding a metal device smashing a pattie on the grill, but still… I don't understand what the big deal with "smash burgers" is, because pressing down on a burger as it cooks makes it dry because the "juices" are being squeezed out. Every good cook says "don't do that!". Doesn't everyone know that? 1 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2776-say-what-commercials-that-made-us-scratch-our-heads/page/235/#findComment-8452519

Every good cook says "don't do that!". Doesn't everyone know that? Smash burgers are a thing. Quote What Is a Smash Burger? A smash burger is a thin beef patty cooked on a super-hot griddle. The burger is smashed down, usually with a spatula, to increase browning and craggy bits on the surface for extra flavor. The smashing technique has been around for a while but was further popularized by the Smashburger chain founded in Denver in 2007. Today numerous restaurants advertise this style of burger and home cooks can choose from hundreds of recipes for making them. Fans praise the flavor the burgers get from maximum surface area and being cooked literally smashed into a screaming-hot griddle or skillet. And while generations of burger cookers once believed that pressing on a burger would force out juices and leave it dry, the science of smash burgers seems to belie this: Quickly forming a crust may actually help hold juices in.

Ancaster September 11 Share September 11 I think the ad is for Ross. It's a bunch of young women talking about their "frands". Is this a thing? Or am I making a thing out of the fact that they just don't know how to pronounce "friends" correctly? 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2776-say-what-commercials-that-made-us-scratch-our-heads/page/235/#findComment-8453739
dleighg September 13 Share September 13 I keep seeing this pair of ads for Amazon. Both are of the variety "work for us there are lots of benefits" But both just show a parent at home doing normal family things, that have nothing to do with the benefit. For example, the ad that touts health care for the whole family from day one shows a happy mom asking her kid where her (presumably) other kid is. He points below the table where kid 2 is feeding the dog a jelly sandwich. What on earth does this have to do with Amazon giving you health insurance for your family? 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2776-say-what-commercials-that-made-us-scratch-our-heads/page/235/#findComment-8455356
