I was thinking to myself "gently caress, this is some stupid tampon or bra ad or something isn't it" and nope, it ended up being 1000x worse.

These companies spend millions to billions paying other companies to create, present, re-design, focus test, and blast it in consumer faces every chance they get.

You could line up and execute every Ad agency in the world, replace it with any garbage AI algorithm and people probably wouldn't notice the difference for years if ever.

I really thought I was going to see the Subway logo fade in and somehow it ended up being even worse.

The full thing. Apparently there's a lot of real money in the boxes those kids open in the ad, so I guess it's not as terrible as it first seems? Just an example of a perfectly cut ad in the tweet. It's still stupid and terrible though.

Also how the gently caress did it take until 2020 for that, Ms Pac-Man is almost 40 years old, it's not a new idea.

Like, why?

you know what, the end of that ad should have been a shot of one of those girls, and she reaches a hand into her pants pocket, and from within she pulls out an iphone 11 pro max.

A bulrush/cattail (Typha spp.) inflorescence. The seeds are tightly packed into the characteristic sausage-looking bundle you see at the top of the plant. When they're mature, a gust of wind is enough to cause them to explode out and disperse.
