What is this even supposed to mean? Did some product strategist decide that 3D was a word that has no actual meaning, like ultra and organic and fresh? That it’s a feel-good term that you can put on anything, like TVs and sunglasses and toothpaste? No, Mr. Marketing Man. I am not buying this. I’m buying an arctic fresh toaster instead.
“Chef-inspired” sounds like no actual chef was involved. Would you buy an engineer-inspired car? A truth-inspired election campaign? You are making me want your soups less, not more. Just stop with the marketing.
Dear marketing people,
for various reasons that I don’t feel I need to go into here (because face it, you all know what they are) I’ve decided to boycott this year’s Olympic games. Not only will I not be participating (yeah, right) but I’m extending my personal boycott to the following:
That last item is most likely going to be the hardest. I already stopped buying Coca Cola (though I’ll extend it to restaurants) and eating at McDonalds, so those are going to be a major issue. But today I noticed that Tine is sponsoring the Norwegian Olympics team – so many of their products are off limits.
I’m lazy in my extremism, so I will limit my boycott to such items that actually carry the 5 rings on them. If you’re supporting the warolympic effort, but it’s not obvious to me while I’m in the shop, you might get away with that.
