100 Calorie Packs Turn Women Into Crazy, Screaming Lunatics

Can we just talk about this ridiculous 100 Calorie Packs commercial for a second? Because it has played at least 8 times since I started writing this morning, and it is officially driving me insane.

The ad depicts a horde of completely insane women, screaming with excitement as a truck carrying 100 Calorie Packs of Oreo Cakesters rolls down a city street. We’re supposed to find this hilarious and wacky, but this commercial just pisses me off. First of all, NOBODY ON EARTH gets that excited about a snack pack of pre-portioned soft Oreos. NOBODY. And secondly, if, as the ad claims, these packs are “goodies for grown-ups,” then why are women the only ones going crazy over the cookies in this ad? The men in this ad react to the woman with a mix of “WTF” and “oh my god, you’re crazy” which only serves to make the women look even more pathetic and ridiculous.
