    The “herding cats” commercial was funny because it took a saying, “like herding cats,” to its literal conclusion. And because anyone who’s spent time around a cat knows the idea is absurd.
    It wasn’t just weird for the sake of weirdness.

      Technically yes. But it would be extremely expensive and hard, and probably not entirely accurate especially in what it’s made of. Not only would it be extremely hard and expense a lot of it would go bad before the rest could be finished. It would also be made but not editable, again expense but plausible. But if you really want to know look into the chocolate river scene from the Willy wonka movie!

      There are companies that still run their old commercials from the 90's around the winter holidays, and they seem to do real well off the nostalgia of it all. Puffs tissues and Campbell's soup are two examples off the top of my head. M&Ms kinda does it sometimes as well.

    My mom would always say "move over bacon" whenever she needed us to scooch over a bit. I never really thought much of it, also bacon kinda sounded like a pet name in the context. But it turns out that's a quote from an add for a product that didn't last very long. And the idea that the quote far outlived a product that I'm sure my parents never bought is crazy to think about! 😄

    You mentioned that the increase in total commercial exposure drives advertisers to be more creative, but there's also the fact (as you mentioned at the end) that more people _skip_ ads, avoid them, or don't watch them. This even more so would drive advertisers to become meme-worthy, so it gets back around to the people who don't watch them _and_ gets those people to watch them _as the entertainment_ rather than a distraction.

Even when the Little Lad put out a video teaching you how to do the Little Lad Dance. We saw every version of the Berries and Cream Starburst commercials.
    I have not let that man live it down. Over the years, every high schooler (or their parents) I've run across that had his class I've told them to ask him about the Little Lad. To the point that he knows where I work, who I know, and who to avoid.

      I think smell is an integral part of what we call taste in ordinary language, like if someone loses there sense of smell (hopefully temporarily) they will complain that food tastes different or even has lost flavour. The only way that taste only means what your taste buds on your tongue detect is if we are being technical and trying to define exact sensory pathways, rather than experience.
      Note visual presentation probably changes our taste experience, I would not be surprised if skittles deliver a different experience depending on whether you are tasting them while looking at them versus wearing a blindfold etc.
