Bacon Overload

Baconalia: a disease that will end your life. There are always trends in food. Whether it's the new fad crash diet or the popularity of vegetarianism, food that is fashionable can soon be out of style. Bacon has surpassed the trends and become a cult food. You can even buy bacon merchandise like t-shirts or wallets. Bacon is here to stay. Denny's is capitalizing on this trend by creating a new "bacon club" for its customers who like to enjoy bacon on any type of food. I am interested but also concerned for people who live in close range to Denny's. With unrestricted access to all of that bacon, the cardiac units are going to be working overtime. Despite its nutritious record, bacon will always have its "die hard" fans who will be taking advantage of Baconalia.

Afterglow

Sealy's afterglow is a mattress commercial done right. It implies the obvious. The prospective mattress buyer isn't only interested in sleeping in the bed. Most people look forward to sharing their bed with someone at night. Wheather they are with a long time lover or one night stand, everyone shares intimate memories with their bed. The interactions shown in the commercial are what most of us hope to experience. It's not just sleep, its exitement, amazement, pleasure. It seems so obvious to sell sex when every other mattress brand is trying to sell sleep. Which would you choose?

Sun Drop it to the Floor

SunDrop successfully makes me and millions of other white girls feel uncomfortable by exposing a sober look at what most of us look like in the club. This commercial is no stranger to prime time TV viewers and has no doubt caused a bit of buzz. So they did what any good brand would do in the hight of their viral success. They created a contest where others could become famous through their natural awkward selves. The Show Us How You Drop It contest lets fans of the brand compete in a viral video contest where each contestant can do their thing in hopes of being on the next sun drop commercial.
