    To be fair I've found that the 100 calorie packs are very useful for doling out to my niece since the normal sized snacks are really huge compared to her head.

    Anything with the words "low calories" on it just puts me off. It takes all the decadence out of eating!

    Does the food being segregated into little 100 calorie packs magically mean that we aren't going to overeat anymore? As if pre-portioning them is really going to make a difference. If you feel you need the 100 calorie packs because you overeat, you can still overeat...by eating several packages. Meanwhile, you just pay extra in the middle. Stupid.

    I hate this ad. I couldn't believe it the first (and only) time I saw it.


    It's just as bad as the shoes ad where women are going crazy because shoes are falling from the skies.


    I have no idea what it's advertising.

    We all know that women go INSANE for excess packaging. Like those individually wrapped prunes, wtf. If I was calorie-counting (pfft) and had somehow been sucked into the concept of diet processed foods, the amount of shit I'd be throwing away while eating them would make me feel worse about myself, not better.

    Do. Not. Get.


    I don't really get excited by sweet things, anyway. Sometimes I get treated like I'm not a "real woman" because I don't crave chocolate much, if ever.


    My boyfriend, however, will knock your ass down to get to the cookie aisle.

    The only way I could potentially see myself reacting like the women in this commercial is if that truck pulled up in front of my apartment filled with steak, potatoes and a Belgian beer fountain. Fuck 100-calorie "cookies."

    I found myself frustrated and upset every time I saw this inane, ridiculous, demeaning and insulting ad on television.


    Then I remembered how to change the channel. I feel much better now.

    I find it hilarious, but not in the way the ad is at all intended. The idea of all those extras running around hysterically screaming for something that horrible tasting cracks me up. It does not make me want to eat that product (though I will confess to liking some other 100 cal packs).

    I get this way when there's a Red Mango, Flurt, or Pinkberry in the vicinity. I'm a woman possessed. I am mocked far and wide for my well-proclaimed obsession with frozen yogurt...

    But here's a bonus! If you run swiftly enough and scream loudly enough, you'll burn all those 100 calories right off!

    I hate those 100 calorie packs! completely unenvironmental - huge waste of packaging. encouraging us to eat all of whatever portion comes in a package - complete loss of human self control. But the sad thing is, only women buy these, only women eat these. My roommate in college had enough various 100 calorie packs of popcorn, cookies, etc. to last her through an apocalypse. so so sad.

    Oh, hortense, you clearly didn't get the memo! Let me clear this up for you:


    Men are childish and in need of the firm hand of a Mommy-Wife to keep them in line. On Father's Day, they want golf accessories, or high-end electronics. The will buy anything advertised with bosoms.


    Women are childish and will do anything for shoes or non-fattening chocolate items. Because we all love chocolate, but also will do anything to be "skinny," regardless of how foolish we look in the process.


    There. All clear?


    PS Awesome movie idea: Aliens come to earth and try to fit in by following the lessons learned from watching commercials. If done right, it would be hilarious AND mind-blowing! Fingers crossed.

    @ellaesther: Don't forget, children get away with everything because they're totally clever and then sass the parents with reckless abandon while rolling their eyes in their sockets so hard the axis of the earth tilts ever so slightly out of balance.

    @ellaesther: Yeah, I do! Sally was the only one who had trouble specific to her sex--because of the performative nature of femininity. Talk about a surprising place to find a feminist POV.

    I'm just disappointed that so many women agreed to participate in this ridiculous advertisement. "Walking stereotype? I'm on board!"

    @robyngraves: They didn't know what they were getting into. They're probably all extras who got a call from their agency saying "we have a day's work for you. Show up dressed professionally." And then they get there, expecting $100 (or less, most of them probably aren't union) and are told what they're doing, and even if they don't like it... they just want to be acting. And they can't get a real role without getting their faces on TV.


    I'm a temp. A place has to be REALLY bad for me to not want to go back, but I always do the job I'm there to do that day, regardless. Work is work, you know? I definitely place the blame solely with the higher-ups.
