…. studel ftw

I have seen that face, it is an orgasm face and its not right to sell such a face to a child’s breakfast item, especially in a commercial WITH CHILDREN!

Toaster Strudel is mundane at best. Its no where near as good as a Hair Shampooing or finding the right apartment.

When will advertisers learn.

A post on Sonic and the greatness of their advertising would be well worth it.

I do agree however that negative advertising just drives me bonkers! I especially hate times like this. Its an election year, and every time I watch TV, I see either a John McCain, or Barak Obama advertisement, not talking about what they have done in the past, or plan to do in the future. Instead they talk about how terrible the other is. /yawn

We need more advertising like Sonic’s.



simply brilliant. In fact, I might need to make a post solely about these sonic ads :-p

I must say that I despise Toaster Strudel for their completely inane advertising directed solely against Pop Tarts (advertising which, I was not reminded of until I read James’ post.

How about instead of going after Kellog’s, Pillsbury just goes after “toaster pastries” in general? Walmart, Kroger, Tom Thumb, Target – they’re all culprits of making Pop Tart knock-offs. I sure don’t see Kellog’s running a negative ad campaign against Pillsbury. Nuh uh. Know why? Because Pop Tarts are wonderful. That shit sells itself.

I must confess though that in the dilemma of choosing between Toaster Strudels and Pop Tarts, I fall somewhere in between.

With Toaster Strudels, you’re getting an arguably more “fancy” breakfast food, what with its flaky crust, “real”(?) fruit filling, and the added bonus of an icing packet that lets you control how much gets on your Strudel. However, how many times have you undercooked a TS? I bet more often than you’d like. Nothing ruins a perfectly good morning like a piping hot, flaky crust with a still semi-frozen filling inside.

When you choose Pop Tarts, you know what you’re getting – assuming you don’t stray too far off the beaten path (I know there’s crazy ass flavors out there). They start at room temperature, so you know you have a better chance of even-heating. But, why does Kellog’s even bother selling plain Pop Tarts, with no icing? I know of only one person who buys, and eats, those things (his initials are CSH); I just don’t get it.

I kind of feel like Toaster Strudel is the Republican party, cranking up the typical attack machine against the hoity-toity left-leaning, Democrat Pop Tarts.

If that’s the case, I’ll take a box of Brown Sugar and Cinnamon Pop Tarts please.
