I thought that the ad was going to be about a new Oscar Mayer BREAD.

I suppose that might go over fairly well if it was any good.

I don't know how the general public feels about this, but I'm going to open my big, fat mouth and give my opinion anyway.

Oscar Mayer commercials are crap. They've been crap for some time. Think about it. The stupid "YUM YUM YUM" choir commercial, the kid with the laser eyes on a hot dog, etc.....

NOT ONE of those commercials says anything about the actual product. You can swap out any brand in any of them. Imagine "D4everman's Meats!" and they would be the SAME commercials. 

Sure, the old jingle of "I wish I was an Oscar Mayer Weiner" didn't particularly say anything special about the brand, but it was catchy and people who weren't even born when it was aired know the jingle. 

Whatever ad agency they've hired isn't even trying. They let SFX run the show. Because theres nothing about a girl sleeping under sandwich meat that makes me want to run out and buy that brand. 

/end rant.

What you're ranting about is something pretty much all commercials do these days.

It's all about creating mental impressions that will stick in your mind and which you'll associate with the product when you're in the store shopping.

Commercial makers stopped actually talking about or extolling the virtues of most product long ago.

Some still do, but I think only for products that actually DO something or fulfill some purpose.

What does sandwich meat do other than taste good and satisfy your appetite?

Talking about that won't increase sales because ALL sandwich meat does that.

Either way, I think I speak for everyone when I say we're all relieved that there are no commercials about your meat.

You won't see one about mine, either. You generally don't see commercials for kielbasa.

It didn't even occur to me that I was setting myself up for that joke until now. I'd say something about my "Hard Salami" but I don't know if I want to down that rabbit hole. 

(Man, that sounded better in my head)

No matter how you look at it, you're better off staying away from any mention of meat, salami and holes together in the same post.

Around here, anyway.

As much as I don't want to open the can of worms about "my meat" jokes, I keep seeing this ad, recently. 
It makes so little sense to me I keep thinking about it. Which I guess was the ad company's intent in the first place. 
Man, I miss the days when commercials were at least a little entertaining.
