There used to be an ad for dishwasher soap where they put an entire uneaten baked casserole in a dishwasher, ran the dishwasher, and pulled out a sparkling clean casserole dish. I think it's the same philosophy -- "if our product works in this absurd situation, surely it'll work in your own home where you never do anything this weird".

I'll also mention the block of Stinky Cheese was placed right next to an unwrapped clove of garlic. It's like they're deliberately setting themselves up for failure here.

There's usually also a fish.

Why, of course! I mean, everybody buys their fish right from the fish market, totes it home in their bare hands, and just plops it down on the fridge shelf, right?

When I look at the package of crawfish tails from Wal-Mart, I worry about the olfactory delights of my fridge.

You know, I've never thought of that before! But I've seen big stinky cheeses on plates on commercials many times. It's as common as that blue liquid they pour on diapers and maxi pads. I always though that was hilarious, but I guess the real substances would be too disgusting.

What I wanna know is who comes up with tests for infomercial products. One time my friend and I watched an ad for some pillow, and apparently dropping a brick on it proves how good it is.
