Let's try and jazz up the commercials.
I canât believe how boring commercials are now.  I remember growing up, most products had catchy jingles and slogans.  How Coke was the Real Thing, Pepsi was the choice of a new generation.  Remember the ad âIf you think itâs butter, but itâs not, itâs Chiffon.â  We all knew what weâd walk a mile for, yep, a Camel.  Plus, what product would you rather fight than switch from?  Lucky Strike, of course.  Hey, what is the San Francisco treat?  We all know itâs Rice a Roni.  Today, I see all these different Viagra commercials.  None have any fun names or entertaining songs.  Give that product a name and special hook.  How about âThe All-nighterâ?  Even something simple like âMy Little Friendâ.  Even names like âLove Liftâ or âRocket Fuelâ.  With those names, those Viagra commercials could have an entertainment value to them.  I at least give credit to whoever thought up the ad with people carrying around the cardboard face with the smile drawn on it.  I had one of those commercials come on the other day, and my daughter was visiting.  I told her if someone at one of my family gatherings had one of  those smiley faces in his hand, one of my aunts or uncles would have walked up and slapped it out of their hand and told them to snap out of it.  My family's cure for problems was to either âWalk it Offâ or âSnap out of itâ.  I can still remember how Coke taught the world to sing.  I still sing that song at times.  If we all have to suffer through ads at times, letâs at least try to make them fun and memorable.  I was at the grocery store this week and came across the Old Spice deodorant display.  One section of canned aerosols had a picture of Superman on it with written underneath him read, âSmell like a Heroâ.  Yep, I bought it.  Iâm still waiting to see if I get treated any differently.  If not, at least it was marked down for clearance.
