Not really - it's just supposed to make you remember/recognize their brand.  Advertising is...counter-intuitive.

Yeah, that stuff doesn't work for me.

I'm more likely to avoid this brand now, if I ever remember it.

That was just creepy. That is not the correct tone for ice cream. Are they trying to sell their ice cream to depressed people?

Marc Leishman mentioned "The Nothing Box". Didn't know what that was. Now I do.

Thats just creepy, and it does not make me want to eat ice cream. They should fire their advertising agency.

I can't think of nothing. Even when I'm doing nothing but watching TV I often have to rewind to watch parts again because I get involved in a train of thought. Or I have to re-read a paragraph when reading a book because I'm imagining some scenario or thinking about something else.

I sometimes wish I could think of nothing.

I can't do five seconds of it. It's like trying to not think of an elephant.

This is one of the best commercials I’ve ever seen. The less you know about it going in, the better.

Meh. I still think it sucks if their goal is to sell their ice cream. It failed on me, anyway. I will actively avoid such ice cream.

Apparently Halo Top is very popular:

Chicken Soup for Your Mouth was my favorite from the show last night. I mentioned it in the iMessage group.

    • If you still have that code available, I would love to get a copy. We have PowerShell code that pulls indexes and individual 9-hole handicaps for the tee sets of the course we play. We have 40 players and use this data for skins. We do skins by flight which we have 4 of them A,B,C,D and without pulling this data it would be almost impossible to do in the application. Right now, we also grab each "card" as it comes off the course and put it into a spreadsheet to help us understand who won the round and helps us with skins. Each golfer is required to enter their own scores in GHIN also. Our goal is to have each golfer enter in the scores in GHIN but pull the individual hole scores down each week after the round is posted so that we can figure skins, and points. I found a site for APIs, but it is old referencing https://api.ghin.com/api/v1. Our current code uses https://api2.ghin.com/api/v1. I tried using that along with what was provided in the old doc, but it appears many of the API signatures changed. I'm hoping I can use the python code to get examples of the API calls I need. if nothing else I could recode ours to use python.
    • This is pretty interesting. I don't have a Stack radar so I can't use the app, but given what they say it should be fairly easy to come up with some kind of proxy to it if I spend an hour with a trackman. Just note what ball speed gives what distances and plot it. It's presumably not directly linear, but if you hit 50 shots between 30 and 100 yards, you'll have enough to pin down most yardages in that window (yards vs ball speed). Then rather than trying to match distances, just try to match ball speeds with whatever radar you do have. The whole strokes gained thing would be more difficult, but that's not really necessary to work on it. Or just buy a Stack radar...
    • I don't think that is what the study was showing. It just showed that golfers who spent less time over the ball performed better. It didn't say pending their normal pace.
    • No…? When we edit the title of topics, a little note appears.
    • Rush or delay your own pace and you are probably going to suffer in the long run. PGA pro are well oiled machines that work on an specific pace, it's not surprise that if you move them out of their normal routine things are going to go sideways. I normally don't rush shots, but I sometimes delay the trigger if I'm not feeling it. The result is a lack of athleticism, I kind of get a little stiff and I could loose some yards and accuracy.
