Barudak posted:Millennial brand shopping habits have a lot of companies making GBS threads their pants This is a month old, but I would like to know more about this. It's kind of amazing how quickly Groupon fizzled. For a shining moment they were the next big thing, but then they refused to sell to Google at around the same time most people realized that the 'deals' weren't all that amazing or they were getting inferior service compared to people paying full price.

sitchensis posted:If I want artisanal siracha flavoured chorizo sausage Mexcian bean sludge, I would go out and buy it at a place downtown that specializes in it because, again, I am broke as hell and soup is cheap but I don't want to eat cheap soup all the time. This is pretty much how I think. If I'm going to splurge on something, it doesn't make sense to pay twice as much for "gourmet" convenience food when for a little bit more (and many times actually less) I can get real food that's ten times better. Maybe this is one of the attitudes that confounds the corporate types, i.e. we like better food, but don't want better (more expensive) convenience food.

I enjoy reading about how companies try and fail to market to millennials. While looking for something new, I found this NYT article about how Paul Newman is basically the same as Aunt Jemima or Uncle Ben. https://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/14/business/media/newmans-own-adjusts-to-reach-millennials.html?smid=tw-share&_r=1 Also, changing the label to read 100% of Profits to Charity instead of All Profits to Charity is definitely going to make a difference.

Cowslips Warren posted:I can't remember what it's for, a drug store or a drug itself, but there's a raido ad I hear at least once an hour with a sick guy coughing bad, and saying he has to call out sick tomorrow. One commercial has his wife asking, all pissy, if he wants to call out sick to his daughter's birthday. The other has a whiny kid whimpering about him missing a dance recital. I think this is DayQuil.

Tired Moritz posted:Just to clarify, grocery shopping is just going to a grocery store, picking the stuff you want and paying and leaving, right? What mechanical skill do you need? This is not me, but in my experience it's just a basic disconnect between knowing what you want and being able to conceptualize the groceries needed to realize it. There's also a very real element of choice overload. There's like 10 kinds of chicken and 20 kinds of sausage. 1. Whole 2. Split breasts 3. Thighs 4. Drumsticks 5. Party wings 6. Boneless skinless breasts 7. " Thighs 8-14: the above but "organic" or "free range" 15. Frozen boneless skinless breasts 16. Frozen Party wings 17. " Breast tenders 18. Unfrozen breast tenders 19. Capons 20. Cornish game 21. "Party pack" (usually thighs and drums) 22. From the butcher case 23. Premarinated Those are just off the top of my head. If you have basically not seen food prepared, just that choice can be paralyzing and you don't even have anything else.

Hillary Clintons Thong posted:So you're saying that someone could want to make some chicken breasts and get paralyzed with fear or whatever because chicken wings also exist? Maybe I'm reading this incredibly wrong though. No, I'm saying if someone wants to transition from Hungry Man or Lean Cuisine it can be hard to know where to start, and much easier to not even try, so many people don't.

Early morning shopping is great, but with the downside that the sell-by-date steaks usually haven't been marked down yet.

mandatory lesbian posted:dang dude bread lasts me like 2 weeks, how many people live with you BioEnchanted posted: My main issue grocery shopping is that I live alone so I need to pay attention to use by dates (yes, I can taste the difference when past the date) to make sure I can finish it before it expires, like a loaf of bread has to have a date 4 days after I buy it, unless I'm using it on the day of purchase in which case it only needs to last the next 3 days. Similarly milk - sometimes I have a little left over that I can't use in time, so I need to be careful there too. That's a lot of bread to eat through in 4 days, though. We don't even buy bread if the date isn't a week in the future.

Probably not a dumb move: If you can't see it, it says "Hey kids, this is advertising." in the top left corner. I couldn't find the ad-bar that led me there, but it also had it. Kind of refreshing. Those teeth are still nightmarish, though.

I've only seen Smeg in the Great British Bake Off. They don't really sell them in the US, and we just did fridge shopping. Bad-ish advertising: Blue Buffalo Wild Cat. Commercial shows pictures of lynx. Tells the viewer that the lynx is the ancestor of your housecat.

The last time the lynx and the cat had a common ancestor was 7 million years ago. Which was about when humans first started to diverge from what would become chimps.

mostlygray posted:When I first saw that episode, it was October in MN. A perfect time for Haralson apples at the orchard in Jordan that we go to. I legitimately thought that "crab apples" meant that they were inedible until this moment. My grandparents lived next to an experimental farm and sometimes they were given like a bushel of apples to be neighborly. Some of those were amazing and I sometimes wonder if they have a real name now. Memento posted:YOU LIKE ICE CREAM. The older I get the more I appreciate what this show was trying to tell me.
