Recipe Marketing and Funnies

Have you every noticed the emotional marketing used in advertising recipes? These ads use trigger words to make you think their recipes are better than the rest.  Some examples of power words they use:

heavenly

million dollar

grandma

marry me

melt in your mouth

This past week, there was Million Dollar Soup and Twenty-four of Grandma's Signature Recipes.

I've seen Million Dollar Ground Beef Casserole, Marry Me Chicken, Heavenly Mashed Potatoes, and Melt in your Mouth Meatloaf.

Do you think it's a marketing gimmick (like I do), or are these recipes seriously better than others?

Now.... moving on to some funnies!

I love puns!

To actually write with a pen or pencil!

This happened to me recently!  One time, my husband actually opened the door and got in thinking it was me, and it wasn't!  How embarrassing!

For me, this would be craft supplies!  Paper, glue, templates, embroidery, I could go on and on.

This actually looks like she is unbalancing the car!

Hahaha.  I know.  Silly!

Do you have streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, Paramount +?  I think there are very few people who don't have at least one streaming channel.  Have you noticed that young people are opting for only using streaming rather than local or traditional cable?  All of our  (5) children fall into that category.  One benefit is that they aren't seeing the number of commercials that we see on local TV, and that is one MAJOR benefit in my opinion. 

How do you feel about it?

Moving on now.

I just love puns!

Google it!  It's fun!

Is it still winter? It Depends.

 

Everyone seems to want to rush through winter.  I guess if you live where it snows, that's totally understandable.  Here in Southeast Texas, we rarely, and I mean RARELY get snow.  We do get ice, though.  In fact, they threatened a big ice storm a couple of weeks ago, but thankfully, it didn't happen.  We had some freezing temperatures but not much precipitation.  Then this past week, we were in the 80's for 3 days in a row.

We did have a historic ice storm exactly 5 years ago that was one of Texas' worst natural disasters.  Millions without power, some for more than a week, snow in many places, ice over the entire state, over 200 deaths.  I don't care to relive that.  We have had a few freezes this year, but nothing like that.

If we use Groundhog Phil as an indicator, we still have another four weeks of winter to go, which actually lines up closely with the actual first day of Spring, March 20th.  How has winter been treating your area?

This actually happens.

All in good fun, people.  Have a great week.  Don't forget to visit Happy Tuesday and Random Tuesday Thoughts.

Su'per Ta'zon Medio Tiempo

 How 'bout that game?  How 'bout that half time performance? Bad Bunny delivered a solid performance as did Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin, but mostly Bad Bunny!  I love how they had the field decorated like a sugar cane field.  They did an amazing job of setting everything up!  And finding out that the couple who got married was actually a REAL wedding was amazing!  

Here is my favorite commercial.  The rest were disappointing!   If you can watch this commercial and not feel  something in your heart, you may not have a pulse!

Moving on to some other funnies...
