We get these pills to swallow and they stick in your throat.. yet they taste like gold.

I really have to applaud the marketing department at Best Foods.
No wonder more than half of America is overweight.
May I present the latest salute to gluttony: peanut butter in a tube.



I saw the ad for "Skippy Squeeze Stix" while I was watching Toonami on Cartoon Network.
They had kids on skateboards and the quintessential Cool Black KidTM rapping the jingle.

Children are so easy to dupe.

Just make them question their self esteem if they don't have whatever your trying to hawk and they're sold.

Too bad they neglected to note that these tubes contain just as much fat as a jar does, if not more so because of the additives they had to put it to give it a creamier texture. Not to mention (statistically) more than 15% of children and adolescents are overweight, 11% for more than a decade.

Gotta hook em while they're young right?
I guess they got some tips from the tobacco industry.
