NSA Hacks into Private Networks Like Google and Yahoo, too.

notice to marketers...make me smile or chuckle and i'll probably buy your shit...or at the very least, not stop buying it...but, if your commercial includes crunching noises, swallowing noises, typewriter noises, glug-glug-glug (pouring shit from a bottle) noises, etc...i'll never buy your shit or i'll drop you like a hot potato. i'm not sure what psychological buying trait they've identified that makes them believe that is an effective tool but, i'm here to tell you, that shit annoys the fuck outta me.

That's because your old-as-fuck ears have lost the ability to discriminate auditory sources.

i don't need to know what food sounds like when it's being prepared, chewed or swallowed in order to be interested in a food product anymore than i need to know what it sounds like when your body is done with it and you are depositing it in the toilet to be interested in an ass-wiping product...it's just stupid and unnecessary and it doesn't make me go "yum! i need a fucking twix bar!"

hahahaha...ok...THIS is the shit that i'm talking about...



incidentally, i boosted a couple kit-kat bars from my son's halloween stash this morning...i still love those damn things in spite of the maddening commercials...now that's a product endorsement!

i'll have to agree with digi, listening to people eat is a cheap old school marketing gag that's "supposed" to trigger some kind of pavlovian response. It does border on disgusting. Or watching people purse their lips and say "hmmm, gotta have it" as they're eyeballing up some disgusting hot fast food mess like they haven't eaten in weeks. I ashamed to admit that marketers are for the most part an incredibly crass group of people who seek to bring everything down the lowest common denominator so they can herd consumers into various pens. But it's quite successful for some companies.

haha @ digi I ate all the kitkats first thing

I love them frozen. I don't like their commercials either but love the twix commercials

Does anyone enjoy watching commercials?

pretty much any candy is good frozen...reeses cups, snickers, etc..

 

[TableFun]

True that.

 

[bigbassturd]

I haven't had a candy bar in like 2 fucking years

Kitkats are my all time favorite though. I could eat them every day
