further proof advertising works

If we're friends on facebook then you know that I recently bought myself a sexy new lamp for our bedroom. Just this past weekend Mike finally got around to disposing of the styrofoam that it was packed in.

Mike: You know it's a real pain in the ass that these garbage bags just shred when you put anything with a corner in them.
Abby: Well are they Glad bags? Because they don't rip.

I guess I should be pleased that she's paying attention to all the commercials and not just the toy and McDonald's ones. Right?

My kids have absolute faith in commercials too - at the grocery store they are always picking out a certain brand of tissues or toilet paper because they've seen it on a commercial labelled as "the best."

I don't know if I should be amused or horrified. Needless to say we have had several conversations lately on advertising and marketing and what it means to slant the truth.

When I got my husband a Sham-Wow for father's day (for a joke), Angus said enthusiastically, "Mom, our stain worries are over!". Then I cried a little.

hahaha!

Jared piped up with something awhile ago from a commercial (that he felt I needed). I can't remember what it was now, but he had the same and the price down pat, then proceeded to tell me I should google it and find out more. LOL!
