Rather than break-out last week’s winner & this week’s commercial into 2 different posts, I’m combining them into one.

The video above is this week’s commercial quipping contest video!

Since it’s obvious what they’re selling (although why they’re selling it is a completely different issue), let’s make this contest entry something fun.

Give the squirrel a name!

Any name will do…Larry…Curly…Moe. I, myself, am partial to Sassafrass. But that’s me.

As always, the rules are the same:

• One entry per person
• Keep it clean
• Contest will remain open for 1 week
• Contest will end Wednesday, Sept. 23rd at 10pm Central US time
• I’ll use Random.org to draw the winner

So what does the winner get this week?…

Well, I thought about actually giving away one of these “drinks”, but I’m not sure I could do that to you…or that anyone would even enter for that matter. Can you imagine the taste?…Ugh!

So I’ve decided to giveaway something that I’ve actually tasted before…and lived to tell the tale from.

[evil grin, slanty eyes]

Mwah…mwah…mwuahhh!

And it was inspired by….are you ready for this?….

I’m serious. I mean are you really ready for this?…

It’s our favorite Korean girl in yellow!

Yep – she’s back…and this time with back-up dancers!

Since they’re workin’ up a sweat…I figured I’d give that away.

So say hello to my little friends & this week’s prize!

Two Bottles of Pocari Sweat!

Yes, my friends…Sweat…Pocari Sweat.

That fun-tasting, Korean Ion Supply-flavored drink that’s just days away from it’s worldwide, corner-the-market domination of sweat drinks everywhere.

(It should be at your local WalMart soon.)

So what about last week’s winner?…

Well, we had all of two entries. And since one of them won the last time, and because I’m all about fairness, that means it’s Dorie!

[jumping up & down]

Dorie! You won! You won! You won!

Oh, won what?…you say?

[skirting the issue]

So a funny thing happened on the way to photograph last week’s prize…

[big cheesey smile]

I took the photograph…I did – I promise. See?

But when I zoomed in to get a close-up…

…this is what I discovered.

[clearing throat]

Well…I think those dates up there are supposed to be expiration dates. And since I promised myself I would do “no harm” with this blog, I cannot in good faith send these to you.

Just can’t do that to you, Chica. I know we just met & all…but nope, I’m certain you’re a fabulous person & I’m certain I would feel entirely guilty if I got an email from you accusing me of wanton, reckless endangerment of a seemingly benign yet highly toxic substance.

(Well, ok…there’s that & I would really like to avoid any legal suits that might arise from said substance.)

So I’m marching my happy-butt back to the commissary to point out their glaring oversight in selling products that..

EXPIRED 3 YEARS AGO!

(C’mon, are you kiddin’ me?!?!? You’re actually selling this stuff?…To military families?!…Do we just not rank unexpired goods & produce?…Do you think just because we’re not in the states it means you can toss out the FDA rules?…Are we just pawns in your governmental game of ‘let’s see what this does’?…Are we just easy-pickin’s for government contractors looking to pad their fat, Armani-suit-wearing pockets by charging the military full-price & selling us stuff the local food shelter wouldn’t accept?…I mean seriously, really? 3 years?!..Would you drink this stuff?)

[delicately stepping off soap box]

However, since I don’t get the car until Saturday, I’m afraid I’ll have to save my self-righteous anger & blogger’s wrathful vengence for 48 hours before I can’t actually…reconisider…I mean, confront…confront someone about it.

Besides, I’m sure there’s a bag boy there that will be very sorry about all of this come Saturday.

I might even make him cry.

 

(Dorie, PS – So yeah…the long & short of it is…you’ve got another prize coming. I just thought the moment called for a dramatic exit. Let me know where to send it.)
