Quoted from Dr. House: The other day I saw this commercial for spaghetti sauce. It went like this.
"When making spaghetti, some people like this jar"
And then a jar of generic spaghetti sauce plops onto a plate of spaghetti
"But others prefer the great taste of Prego"
Then it pans to Prego sauce being ladled onto spaghetti...
but right next to the plate is a JAR of fucking Prego.
What the fuck is the point of attacking your competitors for being in jars when your shit comes in a jar too? That commercial makes no fucking sense and almost gave me a nosebleed when I first saw it.
Yeesh...
I was trying to find a video of that ad, and I ran into this.
Yes, they ALL come in jars. They aren't "attacking" the jar, they are saying that most people prefer "THIS" jar (the squarish one with the olde-style label), even though (according to them) actual taste tests result in people preferring Prego sauce.
Again: they are not criticizing the jar, they are criticizing an apparent preference for a type of jar rather than the content. Have you not noticed that all of these "fancy" brands come in a fake masonry jar, even though they are all cranked out by an automated factory?
It's a perfectly rational commercial, whether you like Prego sauce or not. This is what you get when they over-estimate an audience which typically attacks advertisers for treating us like idiots.
