This campaign always confused the heck out of me. Why would you portray your own product as a smarmy rear end in a top hat and the competitor as a lovable mug?

I ordered Pizza Hut last night and noticed that their menu is now pretty dramatically overhauled, and they're calling it "The Flavor Of Now." You have to make decisions on like five or six different variables now before you can order your drat pizza. Pretzel crust? Sriracha jizzed all over the top of your pizza? Just give me a plain-rear end pizza, you weirdos.

Here's some of the new stuff if you haven't seen it.

What, in the context of pizza, is white sauce?

You have a sad life.

Re: Pizza Hut's new menu, I haven't tried the weird drizzles but the ginger crust dust is actually pretty good. It's not a terrible idea to make them stand out from the crowd, unfortunately Americans want really plain and simple pizza so it probably won't work.

RE: Mt.Dew kickstart

I still think the commercial sucked and was a blatant rip off. As for its success, perhaps it's just not doing so well here in GA (Coca-Cola country I guess) but I've just watched it get marked down and still have shelves full of the stuff. Speaking of disingenuous commercials, the Taco Bell biscuit taco one bothers me. When that foodie hipster guy goes "Im not a spokesman for the south" (or whatever) I audibly groaned oh shut the gently caress up. I get what they are trying to do (I think) make some weird concept food seem adventurous and different but I have no more desire to try it before and after I saw the commercial.

what's the deal with your weird vendetta against pepsi

There's an ad running on a local radio station about some weight loss pill scam. It mostly involves a fake customer calling in to say that they're losing weight TOO DRAMATICALLY and the commercial says "whoa there, if you're looking TOO DANG GOOD, then only take the pill every other day!" It's the most lovely transparent thing ever and it makes me mad. that's my story

I have absolutely no idea how to do anything in Snapchat other than take a picture and send it to people. The UI has been offensively bad as long as I can remember and all I can do is tap and swipe randomly in the hope that I'll find what I'm looking for.

That's what I do on tinder.

On Youtube TV, for months, I got one ad that just repeated over and over during every ad break. It was Dua Lipa drinking some brand of hard seltzer.

I have come to really despise her despite knowing nothing about her. Except that she's multilingual and a dog owner. No one is just one flavor!
