Advertizing Rant

Just caught my eye: the banner ad on the top of the OH page:

Smart Ones:

What we all want for dinner:

MORE FOOD!!!"

WTF???

Probably crammed with more refined carbs and artificial sweetners.

I'll never buy this brand again

I eat Smart Ones every day for lunch. I like them and if I want something, I have it.

My rant is the message in the ad: "More Food"!!! Instead of the one we should be sending
which is eat healthily.

If these work for you, that's good.

You do know the banners are based on your browsing history?
Mine are cruise ships and godiva chocolate and ralph lauren clothing.

Well, I certainly don't browse Smart Ones!! I just hate that message.

And by the way, I'd love to join the cruise you go on with Ralph Lauren clothes
and Godiva Chocolate! My kind of trip!!

No..but you probably opened a post about frozen dinners or something. I bought some Ralph Lauren rain boots last year on Christmas night. They were on sale for 19.95. I couldn't NOT buy them you know? Now they are sure I will want to keep spending money.

I send my family godvia for gifts. My people like chocolate.

Let's go on a cruise. I'm looking at nile river cruises right now.
