Evil Lay's Potato Chips
Has anyone caught the new Lay's Potato Chips commercial? They feature a beautiful 40ish brunette holding a bag of chips. She seems to be considering...she has a "I think I'm gonna be bad and cheat!" look on her face before she throws caution to the winds and eats a chip. Her face then blossoms with that "Screw it! I'll do what I want!" look as she eats another. This infuriates me. Just another ploy to fuel America's anorexics. Let's making eat potato chips something scandalous, something only bad girls do...I'm not trying to suggest chips are in any way a healthy snack, but my god!, they shouldn't be a forbidden food! I hate how advertising makes anything with fat, anything with sugar a 'living on the edge' sort of food, its precisely this kind of thought that makes women stick their fingers down their throats and worship their bathroom scales. Women of the world unite, and buy a bag of Old Dutch! And enjoy!

I love potato chips (within reason) ... I buy a bag once every 3 months or so, then seal up what I don't eat. I let Norm eat them, once in a while, but when HE eats, he complains (as he's chomping)about how bad they are ... so they are a food that I don't share with him or let him know I have them, if I can get away with it. It irritates me that someone (Norm)should complain about how bad they are as he is eating MY share! I especially love them with (forbidden) french onion dip! So, there, anorexic women. I'm bad and I am proud of it!
ReplyDeleteGood for you, I forgot about the dip, delish!
DeleteSo true. I saw the commercial and found it extremely irritating. Besides, I have always liked Old Dutch much better than Lays. Now even more so! Keep writing! You bring us 'food for thought'.
