I got this prompt all ready to go last week, and then it hit me that the Super Bowl is this Sunday. And what is something that many people associate with the Super Bowl almost as much as football? Commercials! So I knew I had to save it for this week, and I've been looking forward to it ever since. I think it's going to be lots of fun!
What commercials and advertisements--either TV/radio, magazine/newspaper, or even billboards (Burma Shave, anyone?!)--do you associate with growing up? Did you watch TV for the ads or for the programs? Can you still remember any of the songs, words or slogans from those ads? What were your favorites and least favorites? Were your parents influenced by ads when they bought things? Did you try to convince your parents to buy something as the result of a commercial? What is something you bought or did as a result of an advertisement that you later regretted (either as a child or an adult)? Feel free to share words, videos, or pictures of any ads!
Dig deep into those memory banks and post your favorites (and least favorites!) tomorrow and come link up here!
Nice post to read
