Why I Love Advertising

Hey, we are bombarded with it, right? Sometimes you have to succumb. I know few people who have never ordered something off TV or QVC. As a kid, I ordered the Liberace Big Note Song Book and learned to play "Deck the Halls."

I do try to shield Vivien from it on TV and radio, picking channels that have very little and muting it when ads come on. Even though she says, "What happened, Mommy?"

Well, here is how I haven't shielded myself, and the funny thing? I still haven't eaten one Klondike bar.

Keywords: ads, advertising, advertising and kids, Klondike bars, Tarnex

Oh I love Klondike bars! D knows the whole jingle to the perfect tune. *sigh* I have exposed them all to the joys of advertising!

I love you for wanting Tar-nex as a kid. That commercial, with that woman's sort-of-shaky hand dipping the spoon into the bowl of Tar-nex has been burned in my brain forever. I always always always wanted it. Except we were a stainless steel family.

I was deprived the joys of Tarnex advertising (never heard of it, in fact), but am now DYING to know if it works!! Since you've introduced me to it, I think you are morally obligated, Daphne, to now try it out and report if it works!!!
