Hello! Iron Girl here!

Ok, today is going to be more of a fun post.

Alright, like everyone else out there, I watch TV. [gasp!] And some commercials are less then desired. But others I just cock my head at sometimes.

Nutella

  

OK, maybe a lot of people out there like this..this..stuff. Personally, I don't. But that's for another day. 

You've probably seen the commercial for this. What does the mom say? 'Busy mornings, I choose Nutella! It looks like chocolate but it's healthy! And that's what my kids need!' Or something along those lines.

-_-  I think I saw this commercial on the Cartoon Network or Disney. These commercials are like *shhh, lets get our kids to eat healthier without them knowing!* OK, so you put it on the cartoon network?! Real nice secret keeping there, guys. 

Another thing before I move onto another example. Whenever kids hear the words 'without them knowing' our ears perk right up and we immediately turn into a secret agent.(=_=) Sneaking through the house trying to figure out what the adults are talking about. Beware of that '-'. 

Ok, example #2. 

Fiber One cereal

I remember this commercial. Maybe you do too, lets see!

Parents are eating breakfast and they are all out of their kids favorite cereal. So when their boy comes out, they panic and grab a Fiber One cereal box. But they don't want the kid to see the word 'Fiber.' So the dad covers it with his hand and they proceed to tell their child that the title is 'Number One.' Of course, the kid eats it and decides to make it his regular cereal. With the parents smiling like idiots.

What you don't see is the next scene, where the parents are probably viciously ducktaping over the word 'Fiber.'
I'm sorry, but that was a bit extreme. It's one thing to just not say anything about the supposed healthy product. It's a whole other thing to outright lie to your child. Because some kids will wait until 12:00am and sneak into the pantry with a knife and undo all that ducktape that was put in place. [That would be me.] And *gasp!* It's healthy for me?! Guess who won't be eating breakfast the next morning.

What should you take away from this section?
1. Never say anything secretive in front of your child, unless you want a secret agent roaming your house. =_=
2. DO NOT lie to your child about anything regarding food. Because they will find out sooner or later.O-O

Ok, one last thing before I go.

The hotel picking commercial [I don't know the exact name.]

Basically, there was a string of commercials about it. The first on was:

A bus full of people is about to tip over the side of a bridge. One woman says: 'Maybe this vacation was a bad idea!' Then the back door of the bus opens and this guy that looks like a game show host pops in. 'Vacations are always a good idea!' And as he hustles everyone to safety, he's talking about how to book hotels at a low price on your phone...blah blah blah. Then everyone is out of the bus and he leans out the back door. 'save yourself.' he says, handing one woman a phone. Then he smiles. 'Some cash!' Then the bus falls and when it hits the bottom of the canyon, it explodes. Along with the guy. The woman is then shown reserving a hotel on the phone. A random person looks at her and the woman says: 'It's what he would've wanted.'
-_-
The other commercials included a suethsayer and stuff. Again, -_-

*din ding ding ding ding!* what's that? OH! That's the 'stupidest commercial in world' alarm going off!

Anyway, today was just a fun post.

Thanks for reading!
