Of all the idiotic and moronic ad campaigns, this has got to be thee worst in a long time. It's late and I'm tired....I can't even describe what the f**k this commercial is saying. The husband is shrunk down....he isn't small, he is shrunk down to Lilliputian proportions and is aggro because the wife is buying Lays Singles and he is interpreting it as she wants to be single...and I mean..YOU SEE? How stupid does that even SOUND?

Lay's Singles--you mean Frito-Lay now has the gall to see if consumers can buy a single chip? What a new twist on the slogan "Betcha can't eat just one Lay's potato chip."

Verrrry annoying commercial. I would never buy this product, based just on all that unnecessary throw-away packaging.
Plus, with the husband that size, how could there be any "LAYS" in that marriage?
And, hey Violetlightning...this commercial brings the whole husband controversy to yet another level. Not only is the husband figuratively insignificant; he's also insignificant literally!!

I bet anyone at that size would immediately die if someone fart right in front of them.

I think Lay's Singles has about 6 or 8 chips per package...so it's supposed to be a 'single handful'.

Singles are the ultimate in laziness. I agree with the throw away packing problem, it creates all this waste that we wouldn't have if people could just learn portion control on their own. The keebler cookie "tag alongs" in the big plastic tear away packs irritate me as well. What happened to buying little sandwich baggies and packing your own bags of 4 cookies or a handful of chips? Not only is it far cheaper, but there is much less waste.

Sounds pretty useless. You can either buy sandwhich bags like you said, or just take a bag of chips to begin with. And then theres already small bags, why make a package of 10?
Either way who the hell eats only 6 or 8 chips? |

6-8 chips? Did they use that little guy's hand as the measuring device? I never a potato I didn't like and chips are my downfall. Nobody can eat just one is so correct.
One whole BAG that is!

Wasn't their slogan for a long time...you can't eat just one? (one bag)?
I started a thread about this commercial which I believe is now on the hijacked portion of this board. These commercials are just stupid. The one I mentioned was with the little man on the kitchen counter getting all mad then stomping off to go and pout in the breadbox...then he says "eat your chips Marion". And there was another one where they are on the couch of a marriage counselors office. There is a new one I haven't seen but I just heard on the TV while I was doing other things around the house and didn't pay attention to it.
Why don't they just get a divorce already?
Edit: Whoops, I see that someone already pointed out their former slogan.

Then you need to try Pringles Parmesan Garlic chips. Yes---Pringles!! This version comes in a bag, and they're so damned good.

You'd think she would never have even considered dating a guy who weighs less than a pound. That's a red flag right there!

I get even more aggravated when I think about the excess packaging someone pointed out in one of the above posts. I mean, what the hell happened to conserving...and it has just gotten worse...instead of better. |

Then there's those juice-like beverages for kids that come in little plastic bottles, held together by a carboard six-pack, and all encased in cellophane. The product's "anti-environment" from beginning to end. Yet parents justify buying it because it's so convenient, and it's a good way to get little Madison and/or Conner to stay hydrated. Oh, and then there's those "Lunchables". More packaging than actual food.

I just don't know what these companies are thinking. I mean the environmental movement is in full momentum and they are just completely disregarding it. Not to mention the people who purchase them. Sometimes I feel like everything boils down to a statement. Like obscene consumerism is somehow a status symbol. Coming home from Costco in your big, fat luxury SUV loaded up with industrial size, commercial grade shampoos, soaps, razors, chips, condiments, bottled waters, etc. says soooo much about how MUCH MONEY YOU HAVE TO SPEND.
At least that is the way I see it.

(let me jump in with my 2 cents) With the price of food (and fuel) skyrocketing, who the hell can afford these single servings or processed CRAP (i.e. Lunchables) anymore? Doesn't anyone buy a loaf of bread and some cold cuts and (gasp) actually MAKE a sandwich? Slap some cookies in a baggie and some fruit and call it a day? Aren't schools still supplemented by the government to provide milk for cheap?
