BetterToRuleInHell posted:What are the actual benefits of juicing compared to blending? Juicing seems more for vegetables as I've never hear of people throwing denser vegetables like carrots in a blender, but nowadays you can get spinach and kale and other leafy greens in your smoothie at smoothie stores with your delicious fruits... You get all the sugar without any of that pesky fiber stuff! ...yeah it's dumb.

It feels weird to have decades-old media rehashed and re-purposed with the original actors just to get you to buy a drat car. All that work that goes into it, the campaign pitch, the budgeting, the contracting, the rights acquisition from Konami, the recording, the editing, etc. It's a ton of thought and effort to produce something....dumb. Please also understand that "dumb" isn't always a negative thing. I love lots of dumb things.

10 years is a perfect time frame for teenagers to grow up and start buying cars. I never watched any of those cartoons, but the commercials seem amusing even without proper context.

I thought it was pretty well done actually, they put more effort into it than most other companies would have and made it a little funny at the same time. Didn't really expect to see a car company make these though.

I would imagine it was a lot cheaper and easier than filming a whole new commercial. It's a really good idea, really well done. If there was an actually pretty cool moves in marketing thread this whole series would belong in it.

RPATDO_LAMD posted:Why are they all hyping up the rearview camera? That Chevy commercial where people are blown away by all the technology in the car and think it's some BMW or something that costs over $50,000 is kind of like that. Have these people not looked at cars in like, 10 years? You can get an econo shitbox that syncs your Iphone and plays streaming music. I'm sure the car companies are counting down the days until the radio/CD unit is replaced by a bluetooth receiver entirely.

I don't know if it's really marketing but I can't think of a better place for this. Evidently the place I've just been on holiday has a gang problem, because all the bars in the area have government mandated (or at least in the same style as stuff about age limits etc.) signs forbidding the wearing of gang colours. Except they must not want to say "gang", because/so they just forbid the wearing of 'colours', emphasis theirs. Because reading extra meaning into the word colour has absolutely no unpleasant history whatsoever.

Since bars, restaurants, clubs, whatever in America can't legally say "no black people" you end up with places that have "dress codes" instead.

This is a clever bit of marketing where McDonald's paid some hack journalist to write a piece that tries to scrub away some of the stink of having McJobs be a frequently used term in the US by pretending it's a cool, hip place to work with a nest uniform and a fun atmosphere that will definitely get you a better job in the future, with their new skills for life system. So it's totally ok that you'll be working for minimum wage, just keep working and eventually you'll get those skills you need to advance.

It's bootstraps thinking, isn't it? You're learning the skills you need to become successful at your lovely minimum wage job, so keep working there and eventually you'll get rich and powerful! You're not a member of the repressed proletariat, you're a temporarily embarrassed millionaire.

The key word in that "blog" is Canada. We're on of the markets where they've spent a bunch of money renovating and launching trying to go more upscale. They've been running TV ads trying to play it up as a great place for young people to work as well (which is sort of true even if it's mostly because we've got decent minimum wage laws). Here's on the TV spot they've been running: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2QyZ54Helw

By paying a living wage. It would cost a few ad campaigns, but be worth ten times that.
