Snickers billboard

Have you seen Snickers new ad campaign? I almost hit the bumper in front of me on Assland Ave. when I read a giant billboard which I thought said “Hungerection”. When I got closer I realized it said “Hungerectomy”. It still didn’t want to make me eat a Snickers. It made me want to take care of my body so I don’t wind up in the hospital have to get something removed.
Peanutopolis?…yes, this headline was draped across the length of a CTA bus. Reminds me of a Greek candy bar.

Satisfectellent?…this candy bar is okay, but not great.

Substantialicious?…a tongue-twister…try and say it, 3 times…NOW…at your desk…in your cube…people will think you are crazy…no go get a Milky Way!

    Great post! This campaign has been bugging the snickersdesirability right out of me. Just when I thought it couldn’t get any worse than the MB Bank “Betsimpsier” campaign.

    The Snickers people disgust me. Really, I feel myself being driven a little Bit-O-Honeycidal over this whole ad campaign. Also hungry. If only I hadn’t aborted that Baby Ruth…

    Let’s not get Kit-Katty over the whole thing. BeTwix all of us, I am sure we can come up with a more Reesesonable solution than turning to the Krackle, just like Whitney Houston did.

    Miranda,
    It’s people like you who are forcing me to leave town on the Good & Plenty train to live with a Jolly Rancher & eat Hot tamales. Fannie Mae I get some relief?

    Michael - I judge not. I don’t care whether you leave town Now-and-Later or whenever you so choose. Go ahead and live with the 3 Musketeers, for all I care. And let’s not even discuss whatever Rain-blo activities may be upcoming. All I’m saying is that you people need to slow down before someone gets hurt! Put down the licorice whips! IML is over!

I’m all Nestle’d back at my desk now and this sounds like a Her-shey-said-he-said between mandy and michael. By the milky way, miranda, I was all set to name your baby Junior Mint.
