I get the feeling most tins that North Americans get their hands on are rotten. Look at the fish in this video. They are actual fish, not some horrid soup. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DmaedvVBkV8 The video you linked even has them saying "I was told not to eat it if it is watery" but they do it anyway.

I've had it twice now in Sweden and no you do not rinse it, were you thinking of lutefisk? Anyway, you can smell a can being opened from twenty feet away and you eat it with tunnbröd, sour cream and red onions. Well, others may eat it differently but that's what the northerners I was with did. The older people prefer the well fermented, old truly truly bulging (and often a little rusty) tins. First time I was able to eat it, second time I basically immediately gagged. I guess my body learned. Vital accompaniment: lots of aquavit Edit: a little goes a real long way with surströmming.

The box said 10 horsepower! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMDcIApBtL8&t=35s There's also a ton of super-magical gas saving devices that do stuff like spin the air going into the engine a certain way or convert your gasoline to analog to increase the warmth of your exhaust. edit: http://www.popularmechanics.com/cars/a310/1802932/ quote:The Electronic Engine Ionizer Fuel Saver consists of a couple of pieces of wire molded to some rubber blocks, which the manufacturer refers to as "capacitor blocks." There are no capacitors in them, however, as we found out during the test. The rubber blocks clip onto the spark plug wires near the plugs, and are intended to carry the "corona charge" from one cylinder's plug wire to the electrodes of the other plugs. This charge is supposed to "cause a partial breakdown in the larger hydrocarbon molecules in all the non-firing cylinders, resulting in increased combustion efficiency." Yeah. Normally, we try to prevent cross-coupling between spark plug wires to prevent crossfiring between cylinders. The Engine Ionizer seems calculated to promote crossfire. C.M.

Tiggum posted:I've eaten that. It's fairly similar to chocolate with salt, but there's a nice hint of Vegemite at the end. It's not something I'd go out of my way for (largely because I'm not that keen on milk chocolate) but I'd eat it again if it was offered to me. You'd clearly taste the milk chocolate and after that's melted in your mouth for a bit you'd get a tiny taste of Vegemite and you'd screw your face up a little because like, it's two very different flavours that don't match or compliment or even really mix at all what was the point of this. The Vegemite-In-A-Biskets were a good Vegemite promo item though.

A good while back I posted a milk drink advert that baffled me to this day on how it survived for more than a few weeks that mostly featured a loud screaming baby during most of it. Here it is! This stupid advert was on public channels in the morning, so every lunch hour or so nearly every restaurant would have a loud, screaming child sound blaring thru it for 30 seconds.

I feel the same way about ads (fortunately rare now) that start off with an alarm clock going on and waking someone up. Instant, visceral dislike of whatever you're trying to sell me, it's literally Pavlovian.

Even before I had kids, crying baby sounds in media were the worst. Makes Stevie Wonder's "Isn't She Lovely" painful to listen to even though it's a great song.

I think my favorite is still when Burger King had their ad having the guy very specifically trying to trigger your Google device to read off facts about the Whopper. It typically read the first few lines in the Wikipedia article about it, so BK kept trying to edit in their brand-specific wording into the opening, and Wiki mods kept telling them to gently caress off and editing it back. This culminated in people making (arguably) funny edits to the Whopper page so that Google phones would read dumb poo poo about the Whopper instead of prepared lines by BK themselves. I think the campaigned lasted less than a week, if even that. Fake edit: As I was typing this, I thought it had been 2 different ad campaigns, one with McDonald's editing their Big Mac page, and one with Burger King using OK Google. Ends up they were both facets of the Burger King thing, which just makes it even more hilarious. real edit: I read a bit more into it, and Google and Wikipedia both took steps to stop the ad from working, since it violated Wikipedia's rules about advertising and was just sort of a lovely user experience for Google Home users. BK managed to get some workarounds, and ended up winning an award for it. Christ. SpacePig has a new favorite as of 22:56 on Jan 29, 2018 |

"Yeah this campaign here made people smash their TVs to get away from it but this one got people to drive into rivers to make it stop. Tough choice." Yeah, although theyre all basically meaningless, either due to being a bumfuck nobodies award or having no relation to success. The CLIO which was a top ad award for decades had a correlation between winning the award and losing the businnes the next year.
