Popcorn Is So, So, I Dunno … POPCORN!

Marketing Madness means: Do Something Different.  Even if different isn’t different…it’s different.  Hence: PIPCORN.

Why “Pipcorn?”

Because it’s smaller.  Sort of.  Because how often are you eating popcorn thinking:

“Damn it!  I wish this was smaller so I could shove more of this shit in my mouth!!”

I Can’t Wait To be Slaughtered!

Maybe it’s just me but when I see ads for meat with animals as cartoon characters, I feel worse when they’re made to look happy.

I’ll say this for marketers of well-known, brand name products: they are more selective and creative when naming their brands.  At the health food store, there’s just no imagination whatsoever.

I like how they chose the yellow and a script font for Headless though.

“Okay, it’s less prominent but I don’t want headless to get lost!”

“HEY KIDS! SMEAR CHEESE ON YOUR CHEST!

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….
