Locker Room Guys Resort To Arm Farts In Juicy Fruit Commercial
There are many unsavory commercials on TV trying to sell a product.
I for one can not imagine that any normal person's taste buds would suddenly crave a 'Juicy' chewing gum associated with a staccato of loud farting.
Of course, it must have worked as commercials usually are tried on a focus group. Perhaps the sound of farting makes some people to hunger for something you take in your mouth, located on the upper part of the human body.
Perhaps there is some arcane meaning in trying to connect the exhaust pipe of the body with the intake organ, the mouth.
It does not work for me. Whenever I reach to buy some chewing gum, I Instinctively avoid the "noisily" advertised Juicy Fruit product.
However, my grumble does not mean you should not buy the product.
We all shop in accordance with our taste, especially when it comes to something we take in our mouth.
You may enjoy the appetite enhancing commercial, accompanied by the
appropriate sound track:

Join The Frenzy And Spend Like There Is No Tomorrow ?
Gurus of high finance have castigated Canadians for borrowing too much, warning this will lead to financial disaster for the individual and for the country.
Yet, the Bank of Canada has done just about everything to ensure the flow of borrowed money into our hands so we can continue the out of control spending binge.
The dilemma is this: If we don't spend, the economy dives, more people will be without jobs and income.
If we keep spending, like the seasonal deluge of advertisements urging us to do and go with the flow of the Christmas "customs" and shop until we drop or max our credit cards, that temporarily helps the economy.
That is until we have to pay the bills. Then we slow down our often reckless spending and the economy slows down too.
The inescapable conclusion is that Canadians enabled to stimulate the economy through debt-financed spending.
However, if Europe digs itself deeper into a financial abyss or China goes off the rail, then we may be faced with the consequences of our seemingly out of control spending and all the jingling and loud commercials will not drive us to the stores to indulge in one of our favourite activity; Spending.
