Well I have spent the day watching travel channel and food network and enjoying Man v. Food and the many food network challenges. Oh how I wish I owned my own restaurant! Josh has decided hes going to have his own travel channel show where he travels the world looking for the best pizza. I told him he had to go to Marions and Rons…
While wactching TV today, I learned that Man v Food thinks that the government should replacing waterboarding with ludafisk eating…Cause its the nastiest thing ever to eat. So if you are ever offered this “fish” just say no!
I also discovered that Hawaiians get tourist ads here. In case no one realizes, the place that locals want to go for vacation is Vegas. They love their gambling and fun. Yet somehow Michigan has decided that Hawaiians need to come to Michigan for a wonderful vacation experience. Um…the fact that I have seen this commercial over 10 times today tells me many things…that Michigan is desperate to replace the auto industry with one made of tourists, and that based off their ad itself they plan on not featuring anything of the state except the GM building in downtown Detroit and some random park scenes. I think they shoulda featured the purple people eater! That is the best thing there is about Michigan…well at least the Detroit area.
I also have discovered that Hawaii ads on tv tend to be about anything and everything, even if the places they are advertising for aren’t even on the island. Like Outback, Sonic, and Applebees. If they are on Oahu, no one I know has ever seen them, yet we get their advertisements here. My facorite was the Outback commercial offering a Fathers Day special, and in the bottom corner of the screen there was a disclaimer for Guam and Hawaii not being included in the deal. There must be an Outback somewhere on one of the islands, but I have yet to find it on Oahu.
Well Im off to watch more Man v Food
Later!
The TV ads are because they usually have to purchase a market when advertising. The cable company might have HI lumped with parts of CA. When in S.Fl, we got commercials for Kohls, but the closest Kohls was in Orlando (4 hour plus drive).
I do know Sonic advertises everywhere. I believe it’s a marketing technique they use…so you see the commerical in HI, then you visit me in KY. You see a Sonic, which you remember from all of those commercials, so you stop by to check it out. It worked on Paul and me
(I know, we are suckers)
