You really, really don't want to. We got a single six-pack of it from the local distribution rep at a bar I used to work at, and all of the staff was repulsed by the concept, so, after we had some after-hours beverages, I drank it after a co-worker offered me twenty bucks. I didn't hork, but I wanted to for the next hour. It was like ... refrigerated Jack mixed with five-year-old store-brand cola. Almost slimy. This is why I don't drink anymore.

Well, I mean it makes sense- Coca-Cola doesn't want the brand explicilty tied to alcohol, even if "Jack and Coke" is what everyone says, not "Jack and cola".

ohthatdan posted:Who the hell runs Friendly's marketing team? All you have to do to get me in there is show me a static image of that ice cream with the Reese's pieces face and a cone on its head. Instead, we get whatever this is. The look on the sons face clearly speaks for all of us. I know this is from pages back but I work at the agency Friendly's was with prior to their switch to the one who made the ad. Friendly's really, really wanted to get away from the imaging you describe and its one of the key reasons they ended up switching accounts. They wanted to capture some halcyon days gone by family setting which resulted in the ad you see here.

Having been in a Friendly's in the last 5 months I can confirm that they are really really trying to go with some sort of "1950s-70s childhood refuge" or something like that.

100 Years in Iraq posted:lovely unbranded cola. Like did you ever go to the supermarket, and a 2-litre of Coke is $1.99, and a 2-litre of Pepsi was on sale so it was $1.59 and then there was a bottle with a blue label that said COLA and it was 89 cents so you bought it and took it home and drank some and it tasted like poo poo so you threw it out? It would be that last stuff. I go to the Dollar store next to the liquor store to buy this stuff when I get Jack.  Stars and Stripes Cola Pre-made cans of Jack and Coke is a really stupid thing. I wonder what the alcohol/soda ratio is in there, I like a lot of Jack in my Jack and Coke.

In other terrible advertising news, James Bond's signature drink in the new movie will be everyone's favorite skunk-flavored pissbeer, Heineken. As if that goddamn "we could do a serenade" commercial wasn't bad enough.

raditts posted:Was your agency responsible for this? Because I feel like the world deserves an explanation for that, too. Looked it up and yes. Unfortunately I can't speak too much to that ad since I wasn't with the agency at the time so I have no idea what the motivation or thought process behind that was. Typically with a client like Friendly's (whose type of business makes up most of my agency's clients) there is a pretty rigid framework of whats allowable both in terms of actual tone/makeup/comedy etc and a prerequisite to include an offer which doesn't usually lend itself to making ads that can avoid this thread. I'm pretty certain that every client we have has had an ad featured in this thread, especially every single local car dealer. I'm sorry guys, its our fault.

To whoever's been doing this, please do not play the sound of a car horn blaring over the introduction to your radio ad. Some people listen to the radio while driving, it's pretty jarring.

Actually they are sold together, you can find this at pretty much any wal mart. Packaging varies but its out there.  I tried the jack and coke premixed bottles that are out now and they are a little better then the cans but not worth the money. Ended up giving it away.

I grew up eating Miracle Whip (my Mom claimed she was "allergic" to something in mayonnaise, and thus it was never in our house) and, at 28, I still make ham sandwiches and egg salad with it. I can't give it up. I feel so horrible.

PS. Those invest in gold places Sean Hannity advertises, they any good? Wait, not liking Miracle Whip is an old person thing now? I always associated Miracle Whip with old people whose taste buds are so shot that they liked the "tangy zip" and were off-handedly worried about their heart health enough to think that a slurry of mayonnaise, salad dressing, and sugar was a "healthy" alternative.

This whole trend of advertising ignoring things like taste or reliability in favor of advertising how their product will help you self-actualize is simultaneously the worst and best thing ever. Even though I can't stand watching them on regular TV, going on here or just making fun of them has become a pastime in and of itself.

I guess they figure that everyone's tried Miracle Whip at some point or other already, and now they're trying to trick people that didn't like it into liking it by telling them that people that do like it belong to some secret Miracle Whip Midnight Society.
