$2 Million Question

                There is only one day of the year where people avoid getting up during commercials to get more food or go to the bathroom or even refill on their beers if they don’t have to. That day is Super Bowl Sunday. Usually a day where businesses take advantage of the millions of viewers and make us want to buy their products. However, this year, viewers were deeply disappointed in the lack of effort put into making us laugh and wanting us to purchase what they had to offer. They didn’t bring their A-game and we want to know why. Actually, I really don’t care. I personally fell asleep they were so boring. Honestly people, it’s not hard to make us laugh. Put a baby in, or a cute kid, maybe some dogs smoking cigars and we’re satisfied.

                Then again, the industries that did bring their A-game brought it the right way! The winner for this year’s commercial in my books is the Volkswagen Passat: Younger Vader! I told you, a cute kid wins over everyone! Of course I would never buy the car, seeing as I have no need for it… But it was still a good commercial. If you are one of those who haven’t had the pleasure of seeing it yet, take one minute out of your life, click the link and watch it.Young Vader I told you it was good!

Trailing behind the Volkswagen commercial was the Audi A8 commercial. This one didn’t have a cute kid, but their animosity towards BMW is always fun to watch! A8 v BMW Both Audi and BMW keep it classy and thus far both have an avid way of getting retribution. Although BMW hasn’t made its move yet, this old billboard I saw demonstrates that they are not giving up anytime soon. 

Some of the other good ones were from Doritos, Bridgestone and E-trade. All of which you can go look up on your own time! As for the marketing teams for the companies who didn’t do so well- A. you probably didn’t gain any business and B. why on earth did you waste two million dollars for 30 seconds?  

Super Bowl Frenzy

Super Bowl: A sporting event in which major corporations benefit promoting their products with obnoxious commercials to millions of drunken Americans brilliant enough to purchase them.

Super Bowl Week: A week focused on the major sporting event with the help of the media shoving information down everyone’s throats. Also a week where Americans in the host town of the Super Bowl use said event as an excuse to party all week.

Super Bowl in North Texas: …Snore... Wondering why such a lack of enthusiasm? If not, I’m going to tell you anyways. Ah, Super Bowl week in North Texas hasn’t been what anyone was expecting as snow and ice dictated over Dallas, Texas Monday night, and has continued to dominate with no end in sight! Only because I haven’t looked at the forecast further then Friday, and guess what? It’s snowing then too! My curiosity however is in the tourist’s observation of how we handle ourselves in this horrid situation. As most of us living in the Dallas area know, all schools/universities have been shut down for most of the week; with the exception of SMU which is still listed to open tomorrow (smirk). On the other hand, Chicago who has experienced a whopping NINETEEN inches of snow probably just closed schools. My assumption is that the tourists in Dallas, from the north, are exceptionally amused with our reaction to this weather. My response to them? We’re in Texas for Pete’s sake... We don’t like the cold and we won’t ever get used to it either.

Of course none of the “important” Super Bowl events have been cancelled or delayed, so the party will continue on till the big day. However, in spite of this major event in our city, we North Texans are curled up at home trying to avoid going outside if we don’t have to. As for the tourists? I’m not too sure what they’ve been up to, and I don’t plan on going out there to find out either. 

Pulp-Fiction

People have often asked me why I am obsessed with getting high pulp orange juice but I never give them a straight answer. The conversation always goes: “Eh, why are you getting high pulp?” and I always reply “Mind your own effing business.” Okay just kidding. It’s more like: shrug “I just like it.” Honestly… I know exactly why I get it, what kind to get and how much I should be paying for it too. No, it’s not because it is good for you. It has nothing to do with the fact that most of my ex boyfriends hate pulp. And it is definitely not because society thinks the more you get of a food/drink the more fat you will gain. Although I do hate conforming to society.

No, the love of high pulp came to me when I realized that I can have a beverage that will give me something to eat while I drink it. And thanks to recent research I’ve come to learn that it is in fact good for my diet too. You know, because I care so much about my diet. Any who, that’s how this blog came to be. My friend Mr. Big thought of me when he opened his refrigerator in the middle of the night and noticed a bottle of Simply Orange High Pulp and it came to him to message me Extra Pulp. It was like love at first sight. 

Now you might be thinking that this blog is only going to be about my love for high pulp orange juice, and as much as I wish I could bore you to death with just that- I don’t think I could come up with a blogs worth of Pulp-Facts. Instead, I plan on boring you with my bitching, sarcasm and opinion about basically anything that goes with my frame of mind at the moment. And if you find it interesting enough, subscribe and we’ll become best friends! Oh how I love to make myself laugh.

Warning: This glass is always half-full. Screw you, half-empty ones.
