Okay, here’s the best part. They fake the commercials. Instead of a real ad for a car you can’t afford, you get a jingle about a made-up product: “Holiday Socks That Don’t Slip.” The announcer screams that they’re “95% sock-like.”
Another one is for “Eggnog-flavored toothpaste.” They take themselves so seriously. I almost crashed my car laughing.
You will find yourself singing these fake jingles for days. Your family will think you’ve lost it. You have. Welcome to the club.
