The Power of Commercials



I practically can't stand them but my kids seem to love them. They believe in them 100% and I'm sure it's due to the great acting involved while making them. Why do all the cartoon channels play so many of them?...it's driving me nuts! Here are some that I have to endure or listen to daily.



Green Bags - I was driving home and explaining why we couldn't stop at anymore stores because the groceries would go bad. Aspyn wanted to know where Bee-nana's live, in the fridger or on the counter. I explained that they last longer in the fridge and my son proceeded to tell me that all I have to do is buy those one green bags and I can put all the fruit I want in them and they would last forever.



Pancake Puffs - Luckily Target carries a few "As seen on TV" items, but because of this I have to turn on my turbo boosters as I pass by that end cap on the aisle so my kids don't scream for them. "But Mom" Asher screams, "You can make ANYTHING in those".





Rocket Fishing Rod - As if fishing normally isn't simple enough....they need to make a rocket booster that shoots your line out to the water ever so gracefully and helps catch TONS of fish. I thought the art of fishing was bait and timing?

Oh my crap! I love it. Those advertisers know what they are doing by putting them on kids stations. Ellie wants to go for anything that a princess is on. Usually the product sucks but if there is a princess on it, she's in!
