How do you get kids to eat crappy food? Why create a cartoon character and have him him/her do surreal, physically impossible things, of course!?! …with cheese….
I guess it’s better than saying:

I think when Home Depot sponsored Nine Inch Nails’ “Sheetrock Tour” the Stones were all:

other bonus throwaway jokes include:
“Can’t ya hear me knockin’ because this package cannot be delivered without a signature”
“I can’t get no overnight shipping”
“Sympathy For The Bubble Wrap”
“Give my 2 pound package shelter”

Luckily I found this urinal just in time. WHEW!
There really is nothing “adult” about these pretzels. In fact, I’m feeling immature making fun of this.
But I mean, c’mon! Nutzels and Rods???
Remind me to use this one when I present The Museum of Marketing Madness to high school boys.
And to my wife, I bequeath this bag of quinoa seeds…
