FTC Proposes Regulations on Foods Marketed to Children
The Federal Trade Commission last week released recommended guidelines for marketing food to kids. These guidelines will be open for public comment and soon sent to Congress for consideration. What do you think? Should foods marketed to children have healthiness standards? Does this mean no more Cap'n Crunch mascots?Video: New Baby Carrots Marketing Campaign
Baby carrots are tired of being considered so baby carrot-ish. They want to be cool like junk food! As part of a new ad campaign "Eat 'Em Like Junk Food," here are three new ads for baby carrots, where they strive to be seductive (oh, baby...carrots), sci-fi-futuristic, and as X-TREME as pterodactyls. Watch the ads, after the jump.What Are Your Favorite Super Bowl Ads?
The Budweiser Frogs. Super Bowl XXIX, 1995. Remember them? As we count down to game time, we're excited for wings, beer, and football—but, let's be honest, we're pretty pumped for the commercials, too. And snacks and drinks have always dominated the Super Bowl ad landscape. In fact, according to the website DailyFinance, the ads that earn the biggest returns are those related to gametime foods. Doritos, pizza delivery, Bud Light, popcorn—all tend to perform well. What that means? Except a lot of food on your flatscreen during every time-out. As you watch the game, let us know: what are your favorite Super Bowl food commercials?...Video: Levi Johnston's Pistachio Commercial
Even after figuring out the double entendre after replaying this video, I still don't get it. Levi Johnston does what with protection? Busts open a n.... Oh ... I just got it. There's like two double entendres going on here. Nuts. Video, after the jump....In Videos: Burger King Destroys Ice Cream Man
If you're an ice cream vendor, or feel attached to one, sleep with one eye open. Because Burger King may be crafting ways to throw that beloved truck into a bottomless ditch right now. The fast food chain is launching an 89-cent vanilla cone, and they know the biggest competition is the guy on wheels playing the happy-making jingle. The video, after the jump....Country Life Butter = The New Anarchy?
The Guardian reports John Lydon, singer for legendary punk bands Sex Pistols and Public Image Ltd., is fattening up the UK in his first ever commercial for Country Life butter. Lydon was known in the past for his anarchist attitude, but in the last few years has pierced through the souls of TV viewers on British reality TV, Discovery Channel, and VH1. Now, instead of the grating chords of "God Save the Queen" running through their heads, Brits will never forget his intonation of "It's not about Great Britain, it's about great butter!" I'm not sure he'll ever live this one down—especially the part when the cows chase him off-screen. Since we can't embed the video, see the over-enthusiastic...Padma Seductively Eats a Soft Pretzel
In the new promo for the season five of Top Chef, judge Padma Lakshmi slowly gnaws on her pretzel near the New York subway map. She also throws around a pair of whisks, again, as if she has a dirty little secret. The ad, after the jump....Breadvertising
That's just what I want to see before I make a sandwich: an ad for cell phone service. Next, I expect ads to be printed directly onto the bread. [via copyranter]...In Videos: An 'Extraordinary Nutsnack'
The voice over actor in this ad for True North nuts must have gone through a number of takes before saying the last line without laughing. "An extraordinary nut snack." Thinking of clean, innuendo-less slogans for nuts is a toughie, but this one didn't seem to try very hard. The newest version of the ad removed the "nut" part. After the jump, listen closely in the now retired commercial. [via Gawker]...Hot Topics: Technique of the Week | The Food Lab
