Have you seen the latest KFC commercial? A family is sitting around the table enjoying their meal and the wife/mother looks at you and says something like this
"tonight it's all about me and that means no cooking."
But did you notice what an awful wife/mother she is?
It's OK by me for her to take the night off from cooking and it's even OK by me for the kids and hubby to eat greasy take-out. I've been there and done that more times than the average mom/wife. But somewhere along the line this lady failed.
. The family gets to wolf this humongous Kentucky Fried Chicken meal
with all the fixings down and they have to do it without anything to drink.
Is Mom the only one that knows how to put something to drink on the table and everyone
has to do without when she has a night off from cooking?
Did they forget to buy the drinks, were the drinks too expensive,
are they a liquid-free family,
or were they all too lazy to at least get a glass of water for everyone?
Maybe a beverage is a special treat in this household or is saved for
birthdays and anniversaries.
Do you think they eat their snacks without liquid sustenance?
I can't help but wonder what advertising agency decided
that your average family sitting around the dinner table looks better
with no tea, cola, spirits, or water on the table?
It's a conundrum I may never solve.
Ha! I didn't notice that. I do remember not liking the commercial the first time I saw it though. Mostly because of the line "It's all about me." I thought she was being rather selfish. Not for taking the night off from cooking, but making dinner with her family "all about her" instead of saying something like "now I can spend less time in the kitchen and more time with my family." I thought it was a stupid slogan.
ReplyDeleteMaybe they left all of their drinks in front of the TV where they normally eat, then after the commercial is over they will all race over and take their places. ;)
Ha - you're probably right about the drinks. I thought the same thing about the lady
ReplyDelete- the commercial just irritates me.
I noticed in the latest commercial that there a couple of drinks on the table - way to go KFC!
