Adult Pretzels
There really is nothing "adult" about these pretzels. In fact, I'm feeling mighty immature making fun of this. But I mean, c'mon! Nutzels and Rods??? Remind me to use this one when I present The Museum of Marketing Madness to high school boys.
Discover Exotic Cultures and Eat Them
This from my friend Josh, who spotted Marketing Madness in the sushi display. Obviously taken in some big box warehouse joint called Wegmans where the ceiling is just raw pipes and fork lifts roam the aisles.
Discover the Orient with Sushi??! Is that really discovering the Orient, eating raw fish? Can't I just go on the web and look at pictures of Japan instead of eating their crazy food? Why are you scaring me with this stuff??

Texas Toast - Imported From The 5 Boroughs
I think "Texas Toast" is like "Philadelphia Brand Cream Cheese." Philadelphia has no historical connection to cream cheese. This is not "the toast that all Texans eat and love."
So going the extra mile here to slap "New York" on the Texas Toast box pushes the regional connection even further across the map.
To further obfuscate the insanity, please note the background behind "New York" is the colors of the Italian flag. Ay Caramba!

Back To School with Lunchmeat
If you look in the middle of this photo you'll see 2 red plastic rulers at an angle. I can only imagine this is part of some vague, poorly executed 'back to school' theme. Sure! Get your pens, pencils, notebooks and olive loaf and start the year off right!
Cuckoo for Generic Stuff
Don't be fooled by cheap imitations! How can you tell the generic product from the chocolate cereal that makes a certain bird go cuckoo? Let's explore!
And finally...Cocoa Magic!?! Leave the magic to Lucky Charms baby. Here's it's the Puffs man, and we ain't talkin no Puff the Magic Dragon!
Similar chocolatey-goodness background, but the Brand has floating chocolate balls.
I want to see movement with my milk! Pour it on!!! Not just a little jostling of the bowl.
Nobody, but, NObody is as cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs as this bird. Whadya got here? A friggin magician mouse. Didn't I see this guy in the background of some Disney cartoon.

Wipe Your Feet On The Tortilla Wrap Before You Come In
Since people can no longer be forced to watch commercials, advertisers have found tons of new places to shove messaging under our noses...or feet. At the supermarket, this little vinyl mat informs us that the Mission tortilla wraps are now over by the bread department. (I really hadn't been following their progress through the aisles, but thanks guys.)
But what is "here?" Is here there? Where the bread is? Or is here on the floor where I roll cart and wipe my feet? Or is here, in the photo, where the illusion of the tortilla wrap really is. Is. Depending what your definition of "here" is...here.

Help! I'm Stuck in a Shopping Cart and I Have To Pee!!
See if you can find 5 annoying things about this ad?
1. The reference to "garbanzo beans" and "bladder" totally misses the joke. If you're using "beans" and you're referring to the bathroom, you gotta' go with flatulence.
2. There's no explicit mention of the drug but there's a teensy tiny Pfizer logo in the upper right hand corner. What are you hiding Mr. Pfizer?
3. It slaps yet another label on yet another thing wrong with us that only drugs can cure: overactive bladder...when was this an issue?
4. It's making that old-school assumption that women shop in supermarkets, not men.
5. It's in a shopping cart for Pete's sake! Is this speaking to the groceries or the cart driver?
