Several things bother me about this commercial:
1. Hiding vegetables (the new "in" thing to do)
2. Chef Boyardee for a snack?
3. Punishing a child for telling the truth
4. Where are the vegetables? Aren't tomatoes considered fruit?
Theres another thing wrong with this commercial - she is making lunch for a whole bunch of kids but feeding them the individually packaged cups. They are more expensive and more wasteful. Why doesn't she just heat up a can of that schwill to feed them? Less wastefull...equally gross.
When my daughter was in 1st grade we had one of her school friends over for a play date. I made them bananas w/ peanut butter on them for a snack. But the girl didn't want that. She actually opened up my pantry and looked in there. She saw at the very back of the pantry my "just in case" can of Chef Boyardee and asked that I heat it up for her. Yes she did! But I didn't let her have it.

ReplyDeleteI have this commercial on my blog too! I love that you have posts labeled "annoying commercial #?". So clever.
