Truth In Advertising

hardees-bacon-cheddar-fries

Do you notice anything different in the image above? Imagine the old song from your childhood playing in your head “…one of these things is not like the other…”

A week or so ago, my boss and I needed a quick lunch and decided to drop into a Hardees that was close to one of our client locations. Now, I’m a huge fan of the Hardee’s Thickburger, especially the Philly Cheese Steak burger.

When we were ordering though my boss and I looked at a piece of cardboard advertising their new Bacon Cheddar Cheese Fries. They looked great!

When we got our order, they looked like the bottom-half of the picture.

I understand that what you order isn’t normally going to look as sharp and staged as it does in the poster. However, if you’re advertisement shows an order of fries falling out of their container, loaded with bacon pieces and cheddar cheese, it should look like something remotely resembling such a side order.

Don’t you think?

The Thickburger?….. that was delicious!

This Is Supposed to Bring Luck?

Here’s a cute picture of my kids from last year. We were in Chicago’s China town getting a bite to eat and came across this statue of Buddha in a storefront doorway.

Those are just some cute kids. I think Buddha may need to invest in a training bra as well.

That Smells Familiar

sheep

I’m at drama practice this afternoon for our Christmas production at church. There is of course a scene with shepherds. One of the little boys playing a shepherd is wearing one of those rough, brown, suede jackets with the wool trim and collar.

I started thinking to myself, that it’s a really good costume, but then a second thought hit me. I’m sure some kind of attire like that was similar to what real shepherds word. Some kind of leather that was probably from sheep and of course the wool as well.

Now we know that sheep are one of the dumbest animals on the planet, but do you think one of them ever said something like, “Have you seen Bob anywhere? That shepherd guy kind of smells like him, but it’s not Bob.”

Of course the shepherd smells like him, he’s wearing Bob’s skin and wool. It seems to me that would be a pretty frightening realization if it ever came to one of the sheep figuring the whole thing out.

Of course, I could be way off.
