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.

    • Yes, this is the 2024 model. DSG ruined what Callaway perfected for most golfers. A darn good 3 piece golf ball. Now it's a 2 piece cheap ball. To me a 2 piece ball is fine and a 3 piece budget ball is better. I prefer a slightly harder ball, something in the 65-75 compression range that will perform similar to the old Gamer. The Titleist tru-feel is pretty good. I planned on giving Maxfli straightfli a try.
    • Is that the current generation Gamer? Another old standby for a firm and inexpensive ball is Pinnacle.  There are two models, the Rush and the Soft, but I don’t know what compression they are.
    • Good advice, but according to DSG website it is a 45 compression ball. My current ball is the Top-flite Gamer at 70. 45 is too low for me to go.
    • The 3 piece Maxfli Trifli is 2 dozen for $35.  The Trifli does not feel as soft as the Maxfli Softfli, which is why I like it. Other options would be one of the Srixons, which have a buy 2 get 1 free offer.
    • I have been carrying a 7 wood more often this year.  It’s especially handy if you have a downhill lie to an uphill green.  It’s also handy if the rough on the course is deep.
