It's the new form of 2 years ago everything being "artisinal" bread.

gently caress "artisinal". If Subway claims their poo poo is artisinal, then the turds falling out of my dogs rear end are artisinal. About the same quality as the meat Subway uses, anyway.

There's always a fad food trend that everything has to have, yet isn't exactly hard to utilize. I recall a few years back when suddenly mango was everywhere, which pissed me off because I can't have mangoes due to a medicinal interaction, so like every new food was something I certainly couldn't have. Pretzel bread is just the current one. Which actually saddens me because that means it will go away. Pretzel bread is tasty yo.

I dunno, but pretzel bread is pretty damned tasty. One place where pretzel bread doesn't belong though is on a loving hot dog.

Sweet tricks, mom.
My favorite pretzel bread commercial is the one where the guy's happy about court duty because he can go to a local place for pretzel bread and somehow Wendy's is supposed to be even close to comparable

Why can't he just go to the place with the pretzel sandwich on...any other day of his life? Do they ONLY sell food to sequestered jurors or something?

Starting in a week or two thats going to be chicken wings (McDonald's is releasing the McWing or something like that) so that'll be an interesting fad.

He had to wait for jury duty because he needed the jury duty money to get it. Everyone in those commercials looks pretty unemployable (I'm talking in-universe of course) except the Alyson Hannigan-alike, but then she opens her mouth and says something and that's out the window.


Pretzel bread sounds real good and I ordered one from Wendy's one time but it was nasty greasy like they'd dumped a bunch of fryer oil on it or something (the bread itself).

(I do like Wendy's and not one of those goons who claim they get sick just looking at greasy fast food.)

I tried the Arby's salted caramel shake and it was pretty disgusting. The extreme saltiness completely drowned out all other flavors (then again, I am extremely sensitive to saltiness, so feel free to take my experience with a grain of salt :rimshot:).

Also, while I don't like Wendys burgers, if anything can make those slabs of grease edible, it would be a pretzel bun. :yum:

I swear the food trends have been declining in exoticness to the US as well. Sure, for a while we had stuff like Acai berry that most people in the US had never heard of, let alone tasted, but now we just have like, different bread and stuff you find in the produce aisle. Watch, eventually it's going to be something super simple like apples or something treated as the hot new flavor.

I've seen commercials as late as last year selling commemorative coins and brooches for the Titanic disaster.

So no, those commercials will never go away. Although I wouldn't mind if all the ads were as hilarious as that one.

The worst commercial for me right now is the new Beats Pill commercial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVGQO4SM_Zs

How can a company with such a huge marketing budget make something that looks like it's competing with Crazy Frog ringtones? Oh, I guess they spent it all on Chris Rock and Eminem. It's on MTV and the YouTube comments are pretty positive so I guess it appeals to its target audience, but god is it bad.

No part of it folds up into a 3D sculpture, it is unworthy of becoming part of my collection.

One time (literally once, I never saw it again), my brother and I saw a commercial for a complete set of US state quarters, plus the territorial quarters, from both mints. They also threw in some book to store them in or something. Maybe it was a map. What was unique about this? Some quick math revealed the "BUT WAIT ORDER NOW and get a second set" part pushed the price low enough that they were actually selling you $28 dollars worth of quarters for $30. Given that the storage book probably cost more than $2, they were almost certainly losing money on the deal.

Or Ray Winniger's Underground will become further true and cannibalism will come into vogue and eventually leave the gourmet restaurants that spawn anthropophagic cuisine and become a fast food staple.

The worst part of those types of coins are how they use Liberian money so they can imply that since you're paying $20 for a 20 "dollar" coin you're not actually losing any money! Except that the Liberian dollar is practically worthless compared to the US.

Considering that Greek Yogurt/Hummus/et all is less a food trend than an actual regular part of people's diet that might be technically true but not in the way you mean.

I looked into it (not that one specific one but the whole "buy this coin celebrating the United States Marines in genuine Sierra Leone money!" thing) and it would appear that they often use the business model of "we'll send you and bill you for coins you didn't order."

I guess the state quarters are a loss leader?
