Tuesday Morning Diversion: Singing Vegetables are Scary

Grocery store commercials are usually low-budget, boring and filled with pictures of waxed produce and glistening turkeys covered with glaze. After watching this, we kind of miss those. The vegetables are so fresh, they are singing to you - and it's enough to give your children nightmares. "Mommy, I can't eat my vegetables! They'll come alive!"

By the way, Albersons is owned by the same holding company that owns Jewel. So maybe Chicago will be getting some singing veggies of our very own.

Thanks, Molly!

These things are all over the CTA and TV, I am surprised you haven't seen these? However, yes, very creepy.

So the writer of this little feature article wonders if these commercials will be coming to Chicago, at least four months after they've been terrorizing our local tv broadcasts? Isn't this article a media commentary? Shouldn't writers of media stories have some basic knowledge of media reality?

They would have been better off going with the Annoying Orange.

At least they got rid of the broccoli solo.

Hey, that was the best part! And I swear, one of those broccoli's kinda looks like Beyonce. lol

Beans are much more musical.

Yes, finally! I DETEST watching these hokey, creepy Jewel commercials. I'll literally change the channel or shut off the TV in horror when these come on. Anthropomorphized fruits and vegetables are horrendous.
