Product WIN

To demonstrate what a good product or ad is (so there's something to compare the bad stuff to), I'd like to start a feature here on Badvertising called WIN.


Drumroll please, here's the first:




Finally someone was smart enough...
...to design an ice cream container WITH a spoon in the lid!

Product WIN.

Ahh, nostalgia...


Let's take a stroll through the Vermont Country Store catalog, shall we?


There shouldn't be anything scary, just good old fashioned fun.



Wait, what? Who on earth would want a continuously chirping ornament???


Moving on...

Hey look, they sell chocolate ladybugs. Aw, how cute. Wait what's that?


 AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!


Yes, that's really what you think you're seeing- a marzipan little guy with a gold coin up his bum.

Once again:

AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

I do not think you know the meaning of that word...



A tree removal bag for "the annual rite"? Cutting down the tree, ok. Bringing it in and decorating it, sure. But tossing out a tree is a "rite"?  I don't take pictures when I take down my tree.

"Kids, lets gather and look at the photos of us dragging the tree out to the curb year after year."

Here's a definition of "rite":
Rite: 1:A solemn or religious ceremony performed in an established or prescribed manner. 2: Any formal practice or custom.

I didn't know that taking your tree out to the curb (we throw ours in our pond for the fishies) was so important. Now I know.
