How about the "it's time to get back to natural" mayonnaise commercials? It all starts out sounding so healthy, "It's time to get rid of unnatural ingredients in our food" "It's time to be healthier", "It's time for natural" blah blah and then, "It's time for MAYONNAISE"
mmmmmmm
Healthy!
All kids' food commercials are annoying, disgusting, insulting, etc.
But I think the very worst food ads of all are the Carl's Jr. ads where people are eating a 7500 calorie "meal" in the hugest, barely chewed bites possible, talking with their mouths full, with food running down their faces -- uuuugggggghhhh!!! Not sure if Hardee's as they're known in the East runs the same ads or not, but truly the most offensive advertising ever.
And, ohmgosh... re Sonic commercials... we find those hysterical... um... in a totally dumb, ashamed of ourselves way. My husband originally hails from TN where there are tons of Sonics (a nice option since there's no In-n-Out there... yet...).
My favorite Sonic commercial... when the guy orders a wuh-rap, other guy corrects his pronunciation, they argue about whether it's Rench or Wuh-rench... Wuh-rong!
We still say wuh-rong and wuh-right around here. Pathetic, I know, but you never know what will tickle you.
;-p
First of all, the "Fourth Meal" commercials for Taco Bell...as if Americans didnt already have a fat-ass stereotype, we need to promote the idea of adding another full meal onto the day? And have it be from Taco Bell? Ugh.
Also, these arent necessarily bad commercials but I never understand why Sonic spends so much money advertising in New York City when the closest restaurant is 7 hours away in southern Virginia. But yes, I know thats where it is, which means I've checked...because those commercials made me want it!
