emma675 January 4, 2015 Share January 4, 2015 Why do all commercials for bladder control products for women have to involve how great people can dance while wearing them? I've seen two different ones today (Tena and Always) that have themes of how great ladies can dance around while wearing them. I don't get it. If I had to wear those, I would be more concerned with making sure the product kept my pants dry and it didn't look like I was wearing a diaper. I don't think "can I dance around while wearing it?" would be on my list of priorities. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/45040-commercials-that-annoy-irritate-or-outright-enrage/page/50/#findComment-694634

St. Claire January 5, 2015 Share January 5, 2015 This commercial only goes in the "annoy" range, not full-on rage. The new KFC commercial with the kids who are getting all despondent over their parents serving a rotisserie chicken makes no sense to me. They show mom and dad preparing to serve the chicken, then the plethora of rotisserie chicken containers. Oh my goodness! We are depending too highly on serving roasted chicken as our go-to meal! Let's shake things up by buying...a bucket of chicken. Full disclosure- I am one of those "oh, I'll just grab a rotisserie chicken and do up some sides" moms. Not every week, but a lot. If left to my own devices, I might end up feeding my kids constant rotation of chicken with mac&cheese/ham steak and pierogies/pasta/quesadillas. 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/45040-commercials-that-annoy-irritate-or-outright-enrage/page/50/#findComment-696162

Instead of dragging their asses home and grounding them, she get's the brilliant idea Jimmy John's will fix everything. Because miraclously, screaming baby is quiet and the two hellions are dressed for church. But even worse the end shows the mom eating the sandwich and one of the hellions eating a huge cookie and the other a bag of chips, baby has somehow disappeared.
