What is the deal with those NutriSystem commercials all the time. I thought Nutrisystem was big in the 80s...did not know it was popular today. I love how they have the “silver” plan, the woman plan, the man plan. It all looks gross to me.

Goody’s and Stanback are two brands of powdered aspirin that are very popular in the South. You put the powder on your tongue, try hard not to breathe, and wash down with tour favorite beverage. Tastes awful........works great, and fast! When I’m in trouble with a killer headache, it’s the answer.

These commercials are really interesting on one level: If you listen carefully you’ll notice that they make *no* claims about the product whatsoever. They don’t say what it does or doesn’t do for that matter.

It’s like that older ad for a silverish bracelet, I forget what it was called. If you pay attention to the ad, they don’t ever make any statement that it does anything at all, other than people saying “It’s great!” or “I love it!” even though clearly they were insinuating that it had some kind of magical magnetic or other effect. But they never said anything exactly.

I find it to be a wonderful commentary on a funny part of our culture. People will buy stuff for no reason at all.

You said: This thread is useless without...

Oh, who am I kidding? This thread is just useless

I say: I’ve had a lot of good laughs at some of the replies - it cheered me up today.

You know who used to use Head-On?

That’s right, Hitler.

Sure, it's annoying. But consider how effective people like you make it. First, you know the NAME OF THE PRODUCT. Second, you give it recognition in a national forum. Keep up the good work and we may see even more commercials just like it!

It is kind of funny, but wearisome after a while.

It reminds me of something that would have been on SNL when they were sometimes funny, way back in the 70’s

I always loved Berkeley Breathed's "Bloom County" comics that had Opus jumping out of the shower so he could dial the 1-800 number for some terrific product.

There are lots of very gullible people out there.

I want to puke when the Viagra commercials start!

Hmmm, there's a side effect they never mention in the fine print...

We already do...there is now Activ-On, some other “on” for scars, joint pain. I think the commercial is awful, but it is brilliant - EVERYONE knows what it is!

All commercials and liberals irritate me, that’s why I never watch TeeVee.

To tell you the truth, I’ve been enjoying it too. Just trying to spur folks on.
