Its a rip off. So are those 'green bags' that "keep produce fresh". The instructions are SO MANY AND SO DETAILED; you could do that with a daily newspaper. Drying the produce, drying the condensation from the iside of the bag ....etc. too much hassle. Just buy less, and eat it before it goes bad. Or make banana bread! **** about it already.

I noticed the soda was gone too.
Yes, the paper towel trick does work! |

One of our 'local' ads is for a lawyer group of three. Their names sound like a disease, and the announcer is a former TV star, who almost makes me barf, the way he says it. 
Another is for windows. We dislike that ad so much I have about wore my remote out shutting it off. And it comes on 3 times in a half hour period !
A third local one is Dolly Parton's ...yucko |

It is mostly her silly voice advertizing her show in Branson.  |

Here's a few that I find especially annoying: That commercial for the scooter store where the woman spins in her scooter, waving her hand like she's on a carnival ride.
The couple who get up in the middle of the night just to discuss life insurance...ridiculous.
The blonde woman who does the pitch for nutisystem....she bugs me.
I cant stand the Alltell ads. They're stupid and I really dislike Chad for some reason.
And who's the moron that thinks that amphibians and neanderthals would be good advertisements for insurance?

Yeah that one is pretty silly, that also reminds of me the Colonial Penn commercial where all those people are getting together after someone passed away recently, and when two ladies are talking one tells the other "Honey, it costs as much to bury a woman as it does a man." |

Gee, there are so many, I'm not sure where to start!
1. ANY of the new Embarq adds and I really hate their new print ads. It's like the kids in detention came up with these....
2. Ditto on Billy Mays....
3. Appliance Direct -- oh my goodness. They are a combination of Billy Mays and Head on. |

If anyone lives in NC, they've seen the extremely annoying attorney commerical (JSF) that says "tell those bill collectors, YOU MEAN BUSINESS" while pointing at the camera. |
