Insomniac Junk Food Theater
August 19th, 2004
I’m not quite sure what I’ll do with myself after the Olympics are gone. (Not “over,” but physically “gone” from My TV in My apartment. Because it’s all about Me.) I’m currently viewing Wednesday night’s REPEAT of primetime coverage. Guess what? I watched most of it during primetime too. This is pathetic.
On to my other area of expertise. Check out this picture I found in the backseat of my dad’s Explorer, which doubles as his office.
It’s a display of metal cabinet attachments. But, um, come on. Doesn’t it also totally look like cookie dough?
This had to be intentional. Someone involved in the Oil Rubbed Bronze Collection had The Dough on the mind. It’s so obvious. Particularly on the top figure. Every cookie features a unique smattering of chocolate chips both large and small - and this ad’s designer was totally rocking that theme.
Diminishing Returns applauds our friends at Avante for having the smarts to model their products on so lofty a substance.

In other news, I completely hate that Nabisco finds it necessary to name these “Double Stuf” - with one f. WTF (Where’s the F)? It’s not like they need to be distinctive in the extra-icing-Oreo-type-cookie competition. Don’t they sort of have a monopoly as it is? Who’s the genius that was like “I’ve got it! JUST ONE F!”
Less may be more in some cases, but isn’t the message of the Double Stuf Oreo that MORE is more? I could definitely deal with “Stufff.” But this way, it doesn’t add up.
Grade: F- (get it? LOL!)
