Amethyst June 17, 2014 Share June 17, 2014 Wow - just wow. I literally had thought I was the only person who thought that those yogurts all tasted the same, which was gross. I would always buy them because they were like 80 calories or something, and they had the picture on the front, and then I would really really try to convince my mind that I was eating Boston Cream Pie, or apple turnover. At some point I just gave up, sucked up the extra 50-60 calories and started buying Chobani. LOL! No, you're not alone in that one. I suspect quite a few people have been deceived with that yogurt. I was always thinking "This one will be better, right?" It never was. I'll take Chobani or even Dannon over that crap.

Due to a Halloween party, I do know that if you mix salted peanuts & candy corn together it tastes remarkably like a Payday. Topic? I saw the Payday ad on TV last night. It wasn't better on the bigger screen. Although I've decided I'm going to be horribly offended that Payday is obviously male, since they didn't blur out the upper bits. Look they're saying only men get pay days. Like women aren't worth getting paid, not even peanuts.

There used to be a Chocolate Payday, which was introduced back in the late 80s; don't think it's still around. I am so confused by that commercial. So, it's a male because it has nuts? But clearly it also has some kind of serious genetic malfunction, because it has nuts all over, not just in its naughty bits. So, how does it know which nuts are its, nudge, Nuts? I mean, just too many questions for a candy bar.

I saw the Miracle Whip commercial with the skeezy guy at the diner for the first time today. I thought it was funny. I liked that he put the slaw on the dry burger but what really won me over was him busting out his camera and taking a picture of the food. The Highlander commercial with the Muppets makes me hate the Muppets. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/45040-commercials-that-annoy-irritate-or-outright-enrage/page/8/#findComment-144795
Watcher0363 June 21, 2014 Share June 21, 2014 Is it white wine or red that goes with pork? Hannibal Lecter would never be so gauche as to bring something that doesn't suit the meal. Well in that case, it's baked beans and sweet tea.

aradia22 June 21, 2014 Share June 21, 2014 I think the first Miracle Whip commercial with the woman making the deviled eggs sort of made sense. I don't think it was the best way to sell Miracle Whip but I got what they were going for. Artichoke dip guy continues in the same vein in a less effective way. The coleslaw one didn't even really make sense. What are you proud of again? The first two were about nonconformists being integrated into conventional groups like ooo, use Miracle Whip if you want to get a little crazy... but not too crazy because we're still basically talking about mayonnaise. If I'd seen the coleslaw one without the other two I would think the advertising department just got high one day and that was the result.

I have seen the coleslaw one without the other two, so maybe that's why I like it.

RealityGal June 21, 2014 Share June 21, 2014 (edited) I know, what are they thinking! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DxTA4iq98lw The only one of these I've seen is the serial killer looking guy who looks like he hasn't seen a shower in at least a couple of years dumping what appears to be coleslaw (presumably made with Miracle Whip) on his hamburger and then looking around like his penis just grew a couple of inches as a result of that action. Strange. Well, to be fair, his look says that SOMETHING is happening in his pants as a result of eating a burger with coleslaw on it. I love how the cook in the diner regales him with a look of shocked admiration, like he just blew his damn mind with his brilliance, like "look at this crazy guy putting slaw on a burger! I never even realized that the cup I serve the slaw in is the exact same size as a burger, what a crazy slaw lovin' genius! Slaw on a burger, thats a story I'll be telling my great grandkids" Word up to Miracle Whip though - I never get that look of heroic admiration when I put my usual two pickles and mustard on my burger.

RealityGal June 21, 2014 Share June 21, 2014 Can we address the gross guys on the "Miracle Whip and proud of it." spots? I wouldn't eat anything this guy brought to a party if I was starving to death Though the potato salad with the apples the two ladies make looked really good. Here is the thing that annoys me about that commercial....you're no hero dude, you just brought your side dish. You said you would bring the damn artichoke dip and you did it, no need to push all the other food out of the way and wait for the honeys to hug you like you just rescued them. Becky brought the jello mold, Todd brought the potato salad, Jeff brought the 7 layer bean tip, Suzie brought the peach cobbler. But you don't see THEM looking for recognition or pushing everyone elses stuff out of the way. I mean, I get that you're proud of this artichoke dip, I get it, you got your miracle whip, you made your dip, put it into your El Camino and managed to make it to the party without spilling it or eating it, and for that you're a rock star. But seriously, look for applause when you bring the main dish. Or at least something that requires a little more prep than stirring in the miracle whip. 11 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/45040-commercials-that-annoy-irritate-or-outright-enrage/page/8/#findComment-145105

Slaw on a burger, thats a story I'll be telling my great grandkids" That one is my least favorite of the new Miracle Whip ads, I think the cook looks rather pissed off about the dirty-looking customer making him make a special batch of cole slaw with Miracle Whip. Speaking of douchebags, I am kinda hate that tool wearing a knit cap who says "This place.. saved my life" for some bogus rehab clnic.
