Pertinent to my Interests

Documentary reviews, body neutrality, parenting, Jupiter, piano, cats, European history, ghosts, rodents, the collapse of civilization, and if this goes on long enough I'll probably end up cataloguing my entire smushed penny collection.

Commercials from my childhood that will never leave my brain.

The Christmas Fruity Pebbles Commercial
How is it so good. My sister and I still text “ho ho ho I’m hu hu hungry” to each other regularly. This commercial is 100% the reason I always say yes when my kids request Fruity Pebbles.

My Buddy & Kid Sister
On the other end of the spectrum we have this commercial: as insipid as it gets. I can’t hear the word “buddy” without playing out this whole thing in my head and it’s kind of awful. Someone please carve this one out of my brain!

Puppy Surprise
Similarly, the word “surprise” seems to activate this song for me, but I find this one fun and I will sing it to my children and sometimes rework the lyrics to fit the occasion. My family thinks I’m delightful.

They Do Exist M&Ms Commercial
This one is from a little later in my childhood and I still love it. In part because it’s hilarious but also because the little red and green M&Ms are a big part of my childhood Christmas memories.
