@f00l I love brussels sprouts. I make them all sorts of ways. One way: put them in a ziploc bag along with red onion, olive oil, spices, hot sauce, a bit of brown sugar, shake em, then dump em out in a pan and roast them in a 400+°F oven until they are dark.
My issue with these kinds of ads is that I don’t connect it to any particular product in my mind. Maybe the robot should’ve said “halo ice cream” instead of just “ice cream”.
I think a good commercial would just be at a person at a desk repeating the words “(product name) is delicious” over and over for 30 seconds. (I guess this is why I don’t work in advertising.)
Kind of reminds me of the Chevy ads where they show the truck with the brand name covered up that has all these theoretically cool extras. Then they pull off the label and they’re like “believe it or not this nice truck is a Chevy!” What they’re basically saying is “despite what you think, not all Chevys suck.” Not exactly premium advertising.
Makes me never want to eat ice cream again
@Cerridwyn it has me considering eating ice cream, which is something I would otherwise have no interest in.
… I’m not sure exactly why I love it so much.
@InnocuousFarmer we are all unique, just like everyone else
@Cerridwyn I’m not.
@SSteve
You’ll just have to deal with that in your own way then.

@mollama Thanks for sharing. It’s definitely weirder than you think
Why couldn’t this have been, eat the Brussels sprouts?
@jimmyd103 well then it would have come across as sinister.
@jimmyd103 Or turnips, rutabagas, collard greens, asparagus or broccoli?
@jimmyd103 Or any other vegetable a teenager refuses unless it is smothered with cheese sauce.
@jimmyd103
I like brussel sprouts. Steamed and buttered. Am I the only one?
@f00l Brussels sprouts are great when I cook them in a pan with olive oil, add a lot of garlic and onion powder, salt and pepper. Finish with butter.
@RiotDemon
Want.
I bet you still like them when you become a MetalHead Goat.
@InnocuousFarmer I actually hadn’t seen it so thanks for creeping me out.
@sammydog01 you’re welcome

@awk this sounds great! Can you elaborate on ‘spices’?
@RiotDemon My shoe would taste great with that much seasoning. I’m still not going to eat it.
@deweyr25 Whatever you like, “season to taste” as they say
pick your favorite subset:
I don’t think I’ve made it the same way twice!

I’ll bet you could work in advertising at Microsoft.
