I can't keep posting about commercials that lack any kind of reality. There are too many of them. In a Jell-O® commercial as part of the product's Giggle Tour, children are handing out little tubs of the dessert to New Yorkers on the street. Each businessman or construction worker seems to be as delighted as if they were getting freshly made eclairs. Jello is fine if there's no other dessert around or if you have just gotten back from a major operation, but it does not create unsurpassed joy, unless it has fruit in it, and even then. Another absurd commercial is for Nature Valley Sweet and Salty Nut Bar. In this rustic nonsense, two females are kayaking on a river. A bearded hunk onshore bites into a sweet and salty bar causing each of them to lose control of their kayaks as they gaze enviously at his delicious treat. Hmmm. If they were that hot for Nature Valley bars, why didn't they just buy a box before they headed downstream?
