• 18:51 Am/pm poster promoting some random food item's 2/$2 deal: "So nice you'll taste it twice!" I imagine an ad exec is being fired as we speak. #

*headdesk*

They didn't notice that? They even went to the trouble of making it rhyme! They must have been so pleased with themselves.

*thinks about it for a while*
*looks suspicious*
Maybe it's supposed to be viral marketing, by having people complain about it on their blogs. I ran across a blog post a few years ago that speculated that some deliberate mistakes were put into McDonalds advertisements so that people would all get together to gripe about it and thereby be thinking about McDonalds all the time. Get out of my head, advertising people! *scrabbles at head with fingernails*

I guess it's true: there's no such thing as bad publicity. ;-p

So, does it just give you gas or make you throw up? :}

If "you'll taste it twice" even though the second time is "merely" gas ... dear lord, they need to reclassify that stuff as a biological weapon.

I was thinking either like a cow's cud or a vomitorium.

(Which apparently isn't really what vomitorium means, but everybody learned about that in junior high school anyway, either from history class, or from that one kid who likes telling gross stories to everybody.)
