So we kept seeing this commercial:
And you know what? After I bought the bag, the commercial stopped being on!
I ate them all up, sad that I couldn’t act out the commercial along with those sweet-faced actors. Threw away the empty bag.
The next day, the commercial started running again!
I bought another bag — AND THE COMMERCIALS STOPPED!
Fiendish! Now I’m gobbling the damn things as fast as I can go, so the commercial will come on again. Is that fiendish, magical, and amazing, or what? However do they do that?
* The tripartite declaration of dislike is, you may recognize, from “The Road to Rio,” one of my fave-rave Road movies, starring Hope, Crosby, and Lamour. I couldn’t find a clip of the sinisterly beautiful Gale Sondergaard hypnotizing poor Dorothy Lamour, but I give you this:

April 14, 2017 at 7:46amI liked the “On the Road…” movies. I’ll eat gummies if they’re there, but I don’ buy them. I love Maynards Winegums but hey are hard to find in the states. My friend in England introduced them to me several years ago. It’s probably a good thing I can’t find them. People with crowns and bridges probably shouldn’t eat things like that too often.

April 14, 2017 at 7:55amYou’re probably right about the unwisdom of eating Gummies if you have crowns, bridges — or fillings. I doubt I’ll buy any more, but that commercial sure did its job!

April 14, 2017 at 3:56pmLOL! I like that Haribo gummy bear commercial! I laugh out loud every time I see it.
“The reds ones are more gooder.” ” Then it flies right into my mouth.” My two favorite bits. 🙂
I just might have to get some gummy bears for #1 Grandson’s Easter basket and maybe a bag for me too.

April 14, 2017 at 3:58pmRE: the clip. I love the Andrew Sisters pumps, and that suit minus that fancy collar. I love the clothes from that era. Swoon!

April 14, 2017 at 6:08pmOh I love the gummies 🙂 I like the clear. (pineapple)
Your behavior and that commercial make everything about advertising perfectly clear.

April 14, 2017 at 6:34pmYES, THE PINEAPPLE IS THE BESTEST!! I hope whoever made that commercial got a raise. Evil thing!

April 15, 2017 at 1:48amHaribo is actually building a new factory right in my hometown in Wisconsin! Not sure how many jobs it will provide but kudos.

April 15, 2017 at 8:24amCool! If they ask for community input, tell them they should run their commercials even if Marian Allen already bought a bag.
