That blog about the sitcoms some people call “Commercials” generated some interest, and a couple of complaints. Some people expect quizzes about TV commercials to involve slogans or jingles, while other people complained I said next to nothing about the products involved. Well, we CAN do something about that.
Of course, every product was the invention mankind had been waiting for, bnever mind the wheel, and naturally each was better than those Brand X competing types. But can you remember what else they were. True, most were “enriched”, and, inevitably, “new and improved”, while almost every cereal was “part of a balanced breakfast”. But can you recall these other features enough to identify the product?
