There are a lot of commercials that are ridiculous and that's okay because I enjoy pointing out how ridiculous they are. But the most recent Baskin & Robbins commercial drives me so nuts that I have to close my eyes and turn it down when it comes on (which I realize is kind of weird). It's the turtle, and there are two things in particular that I cannot stand. One is how he pops out of his shell and starts walking around with those pink things. It bothers me because a) what are they? b) why does he have them? and c) why is he walking that way (I think it's the walking that bothers me the most)? The second reason is that the turtle is there at all. What does he have to do with anything? I know this is weird that it even bothers me, but it does.

Someone might argue that the commercial has "done it's job" because I'm talking about it, but on the contrary, this makes not want to go there, so there. Although, that's not a loss for B&R because I don't go there anyway. But I would like to say, although I still can't stand the commercial, I do love the helmets. I remember when they would have this campaign when I was younger and my brother and I loved getting ice cream in the helmets. I remember thinking that it was so cool and how come everyone wasn't doing it? And while we're on the subject of cool things from B&R, when I was in the 7th grade I also took two sample spoons from there with the intent to make earring out of them. I grew out of my earring phase right at the time I got the spoons, so, they were never made...
