green eggs and ham
Comedy,
10.19.2009 I understand that showing food on TV commercials is to remind you to pick up the ever delicious Swanson Dinner, Post Cereal, or whatever preservative loaded snack that is fattening up our children.
I also learned long ago that strange concoctions are used to make food look more appealing. Like a white glue mixture used in place of milk to appear more appealing whilst poured over a bowl of Raisin Bran. Ice Cream is often scoops of mashed potatoes covered in motor oil instead of chocolate syrup. Even the steam coming off of a hot dish is a hidden smoking cigarette.
I can accept all this, because they want to make things look irresistible to us and of course, to buy it. However I cannot quite grasp the way that eggs are portrayed.
I don’t mean hard boiled, but they way I prefer to have mine prepared, those sunny side up beauties I can’t wait to dip my toast into. These are almost always under cooked, RUNNY, SLIMY, and not at all something that I want to eat. So I have some questions for the folks over at Eggland’s Best.If commercial food is made to appeal to us, to the point we jump up, run to the kitchen, and fix ourselves the exact dish we just saw on the screen. Or dash to the local grocer’s to buy some Mr’s Paul’s fishsticks. ( Do you like fish sticks?) Then why do we accept that undone eggs look scrumptious and some thing that we would partake of?
Sunny side up eggs seems to be the most shown types of “cooked” eggs in commercials and the most disapointing in my eyes. I often shout out loud during these ads “Salmonella!”, and am amazed that anyone see’s that and says, “yum”. Sorry i just don’t get it. Yuck! Gross! Ughhh!
Ok I guess I have ranted enough. I think I want to eat now. I think I may stick with some veggies until these images are out of my head.
Love ya for reading,
G
