that reminds me… how about that w i c k e d . c o m debacle? Wild copy-editing oversight. But also, the fact that it’s gotten way more press than the dolls themselves would have gotten without the errors speaks to how annoying it is to work in marketing. Doing something wrong gets more eyes on your brand than doing something right.
You had the correct joke, then shifted to the correct joke only if you wanted to telegraph that you have too much knowledge of a specific genre of magazine.
Ahhh, Lowenbrau. That was Grandma's favorite, in about the era of those ads. She was always pretty cool about giving me sips, and what sub-10-year old doesn't love that? (Yeah, I know: Most of them) I'm with you on the awfulness of the slurp, but the imagery is gorgeous and to me it says "you know this is gonna be some tasty coffee" (Yeah, I know: some people can't stand Bucks coffee). But your point about losing the plot is valid.
When did grandparents stop giving their grandkids sips of beer? Because I cannot imagine my parents giving my kids beer when they were 10. But I could absolutely imagine MY grandfather giving me sips of beer (or more likely, my brother sips of beer). When did they tell grandparents not to do that?
Freakin' Rudy. Also, I didn't teach marketing, but I did teach legal writing. I'm preeeeety sure teaching marketing would be better. Meh, who's to say.
Steven went AWOL because he really, really wanted a chicken sandwich. But he didn't plan well, and left camp on a Sunday, only to find that Chick-Fil-A was closed. It's a crazy story.
Teaching marketing can be not-fun... Also Starbucks is bringing back chairs!
Like on the titanic, once a Venti hit $7.50, I quit the brand.
After a very long slide when I saw the brand go from cool to corporate-evil, it was pretty easy.
They charged $7.50 for a venti on the Titanic?
the original Bear > Bare joke was the best one. How can we know what the legal age of consent is for bears?
however, I do appreciate that you shared a joke rewrite for us to appreciate. It's a good reminder that the best ideas take time and iteration.
If you read Bear-ly Legal, you'll know...

I am very, very proud of my knowledge of species-specific legal journals. Cow-lumbia Law Review, for example.
Maybe its impossible for Starbucks to regain its soul given they have $35 billion in annual revenue?
The Chick-fil-A ad just reminded me of this very spot on parody: https://www.tiktok.com/@lrnsscndlife/video/7383041222367005982?lang=en
oh damn that is good...

I'm here for the beeper king references
Thanks, dummy.

I love that Chik-Fil-A ad, but were the people acting or was it really a surprise and Chik-Fil-A flew Steven home and they all kept it a secret?!
