This isn't just one ad that irks me, it's several ads I've seen over the years. Whenever they show someone in a commercial carrying a bag of groceries, the bags are always filled badly or in a weird way. They are packed one of two ways: they are either filled illogically, with heavy items like half gallons of milk or cans of peaches in heavy syrup right on the top crushing the bread and the eggs and the paper cups, or the items being advertised in the commercial will be right on the very top of the bad, BY COINCIDENCE. The wife will be home and the husband will say he has a splitting headache, and the wife will say something like, "hey, take two Painaway. You'll never have another headache again!" And he'll take them even those he's skeptical, and the headache goes away and then snuggle on the couch or go run with the dog outside or something.And people in commercials all use paper bags still. What's up with that?Permalink | Email this | Comments
