I ran into
this article through USA today and thought it was quite interesting. Adfreak.com has released "The 30 Freakiest Ads of 2010" and as I was going through them I really couldn't agree more. It is funny to me though what a company will go through to promote their product. One that stuck out to me was the Fruit Gusher commercial that is based on a boy with a gusher as an eyeball. Now how in any way do they expect that commercial to help their sales? Now it would be different if the kids did the grocery shopping, but then emergency rooms would be filled with children who poked their eyes out because they were trying to fit a gusher inside.
Well, the ad clearly worked on you, because you remember it and you remember the product. As long as the product name is in your head, the ad people don't care how it gets there.
