Excited to see Kansas City highlighted in this Citi commercial that just aired during The Open on NBC:
Just one of the many great things happening in this little big city!

I loved grape soda as a child, and more than once have lamented the lack of diet options.
How about a liquored up one?
Henry’s Hard Grape is all grown up — 4.2 percent alcohol by volume, as you can see — with cool retro branding.
I appreciate both.
I was curious enough to buy a six-pack, and it’s pretty tasty. But my diet soda sensibilities are offended by the cane sugar. To this day, it’s hard for me to drink anything with calories.
Those six hard sodas are gonna last me a good long time.

Met Life, say it isn’t so.
You’re dropping Peanuts as the spokes characters for your brand?
Snoopy and the gang can sell anything…plus, your timing couldn’t be worse.
The popular comic just released a new feature film, and a weekly cartoon series is coming to television at the end of the year. Not to mention a new book (that I wrote) which is being released November 1st.
If I saw the Met Life folks, I think I would probably say:

I had a hilarious astronomy professor in college who sometimes used questionable photography in his lectures to make sure we were awake.
I saw one of his more fabled pics Friday on a greeting card in a Detroit airport gift shop:
I wish I could remember what point my teacher was making in class when he used it…
My mind is drawing a blank.

We are living in the age of the TV spokesperson.
Flo for Progressive. That perky AT&T gal at the mall. The mayhem guy for Allstate. And they all owe their careers and pricey exclusive contracts to this guy:
He made Verizon’s slogan ‘Can you hear me now?’ ubiquitous and annoying.
Then he disappeared.
Well…
He’s back.
I guess his no-compete clause finally expired.

An update on my recent pasta post…
Those stylin’ shells have been spied on the shelves!
The pasta packaging without compare was on display in a grocery store in Toronto.
Thanks for the pic! (I’ll take one of each.)

As a fettuccine head who works hard every day to be more spaghettoni, this packaging speaks to me.
I am also hungry.
