Why reinvent the wheel?
In today's episode, Quinn and Adrienne analyze some of the best and worst superbowl ads from the weekend's big game and discuss how these ads could be made over to fit the industry.
How so? Consider the classic, "is it real or is it acting" Pepsi commercial featuring Steve Martin or Ben Stiller. In the ad(s), the actors play off of the idea that sometimes they love the products they support and sometimes it's acting. In the end, they drink the Pepsi sugar-free cola and remark on how delicious it tastes and then end with "is this real or am I acting?" No one knows for certain, but the commercial creates enough intrigue that now everyone wants to actually know...does it taste like the real thing?
Consider a remake to drive foot traffic. Mattress companies tout better support, cooling features and a variety of items. Put the mattresses to the "test rest" challenge and invite them in stores to see "does it really offer support or are we just saying it does?"
Among other the top favorites?
The Farmer's Dog brand dog food stole Adrienne's heart. It had sentiment, connection and tugged at the heartstrings and 48 hours later, it's the one she remembers in vivid detail.
For Quinn, it was the homage to Breaking Bad and the Doritos addiction.
Which did they disagree on? Blue Moon.
