Found this when I googled “why does hellman’s think it’s real food”. I used to use Hellman’s. Now I make my own. And my mayonnaise contains no water or soybean anything whatsoever. It does contain olive oil, mustard, lemon juice and whole egg and egg yolk. Go figure – with all that naturally occurring yellow in the ingredients, my mayo is yellow. Hellman’s is not yellow. Real? Food? Meh.

Comment on Is Pig the Other White Meat? by Marc Librescu

Your comment demonstrates that you have completely missed the point. You are essentially saying it’s a good ad because the reader gets the message. I’m saying it’s not because one could make a case that it’s false advertising.

I agree with the comment on the bad copy, and even the visual effects are bad. Why would you blur out the copy to white? It makes it harder to read. Plus there is not selling point to the ad. It leads nowhere.

Other then that, the ad has potential. The facts about pork being considered red meat by the USDA has nothing to do with the ad. It is basically a positioning strategy that builds from something we are all familiar with. You already know one white meat so it is easier for you to understand when the ad says “The other white meat.” You get it in like .02 seconds. That is great, print ads need to read that quick. For the most part print ads have a 2 second window to catch the viewers attention.

Sounds like the Navajo word “Dahsání” which means porcupine in my native tongue. lol

Comment on Brita: Too Many Bottles Spoil the Ad by b

i used to buy water bottles for when i went out too, but this used too much plastic bottles, so i got some stainless steel bottles from thermos. now i never buy bottled water, unless i’m out and i don’t have my thermos.
on another note, i’m in italy and this concept of waste and plastic is like rocket science for italians. they don’t have filtered water and don’t like brita and so there is a ton of plastic waste. they are so backwards.

There’s a saying I invented just now, it goes like this – “A good mustache covers a multitude of sins.”

Good find. Terrible ad.
