Badly Timed TV Commercial

"Ready for an explosion of three cheeses?!"





Actually, no. I'm still reeling from last week's explosion of two cheeses.

 

[ABSTRUSE]

Cheese is combustable????

 

[shereads]

Cheese is combustable????

In combinations of three, yes. It's like mixing wine, beer and gin.

Thanks for the heads up, I'm going to keep my cheese apart from one another from now on.

There's a store near where I live that advertises itself as 'An Adventure in Cheese'.

Every time I pass by it I think, 'I didn't know cheese was a place you could visit.' And 'Who's going to pay the dry cleaning bill?'

That was the subtitle of one of my stories.

I recall during the Tsunami, a company, I think in Japan, had just released a new car called Tsunami. Not there fault, but wow, talk about bad corporate luck!

Am I the only one who finds Amelia Earhart luggage to be rather odd? She got lost and was never found. Not exactly the fate you'd like for your suitcases now, is it?

The local Kroger is advertising Old Yeller dog food. Feed this to your dog and he'll get rabies and you'll have to shoot him?

Who names these things?

Except on a pizza Its like mixing GM, Baileys and Kahlua.

Limit your visits to crumbly cheeses like parmesan. It doesn't seem like it would leave stains even after an exciting parmesan adventure. A ripe brie adventure could be problematic.

In Central America there is a dogfood named "Ascan".... I always read it "Ass Can" dogfood. Eeeww!

 

[CharleyH]

Exactly my point.

I try hard not to watch commercials, so I did not get it in the first place.

So, where does Amelia come in?

Hmmm, I've got one that might be an even worse case of bad corporate luck/timing:

Quite a few years ago, there was a new chewable weight loss product that was launched under the name AIDS. Shortly after, the spread of AIDS (HIV) started to get press. The product was pulled, but I think that it was re-launched under a new name.

Not watching commercials is easy. I just don't ever watch TV.

Why do you think they make those wheels of cheese so big? Actually. since you are supposed to be naked during most of the in-cheese adventures, a dry cleaning bill shouldnt be a problem.

No wonder I was told in pre-school, "The cheese stands alone..." Why did the imparting of wisdom stop so soon?

The cheese DID stand alone but only briefly. After less than a minute, he became the Farmer in the Dell and took a wife.

Actually, that was called AYDS and was aroung for quite a while before AIDS. I don't know what the stuff is called now.

Sars

SARS boosts sales of soft drink labelled Sars
Xinhuanet 2003-05-21 10:30:16

　　WELLINGTON, May 21 (Xinhuanet) -- Believe it or not, sales of the soft drink Sars have increased since the publicity over the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) virus hit the headlines, The East & Bays Courier news paper reported Wednesday.

　　The caramel-flavored drink, produced by Australian company Golden Circle, has the same name as the acronym for Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome.

　　New Zealand manager of Golden Circle, Brian Winter, said sales of the drink labelled Sars had increased over the last month.

　　The report said that dairy owners have also noticed an increasein sales of the drink. Panmure Mini Mart owner Bashar Ahmed sold out of the drink a couple of days ago and said there has been an increase in sales over the last few months.

　　The Westminster Dairy in St Heliers has also noticed the drink's popularity.

　　"People laugh at it. Many people point it out. Jokingly they ask:'Is this a medicine for SARS or protection against SARS ?'," one dairy owner said.

　　Mr. Winter said that the company was not thinking about changing the name of the drink and was unlikely to do so if current sales trends continue.

E-mail a friend once received: We've found your luggage. Unfortunately the airline that found it is lost.

How do you know when to panic or become irate?
