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.

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.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By iacas · Posted

      Day 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT · Posted

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By 5amZ · Posted

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By GolfLug · Posted

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.

      I have access to far more data (including surveys and polls) than you do with your anecdotes. I mean this as plainly and literally as possible: you’ve demonstrated that you do not. They would, one way or the other.
