If you want me to remember your PRODUCT, irritate me

I don't see too many commercials thanks to my DVR in the bedroom, but the TV is always on in the kitchen so I can't always avoid them.

For some reason, whenever I really laugh at or enjoy a commercial, I never remember WHO is selling WHAT.  For example, I love the Salt-n-Pepa "Push it real good" one but sitting here right now, I have no idea what they're selling!

HOWEVER, I can HONESTLY tell you that I will never buy anything from Honest or Big Lots.  Those two commercials irritated me so much during the holidays, that I made a mental note to never give them my money.

It seems Honest hired a 5th grader, whose most recent vocabulary list included 'product', to write the script for their commercial. "The Honest products are products that we mail these products to your house so you can use the products..." ARE YOU FLIPPING KIDDING ME?

NEXT was the lovely singing lady of the Big Lots ad that ran over and over and over and over and over again every two minutes until I actually CHANGED THE CHANNEL and watched something else for fear of that ad running AGAIN.

I can hold a grudge like nobody's business.  I will talk smack about these companies and my kids will go without diapers or Christmas presents before I shop at either one.
