For those of us that came of age before TiVo, commercials are a way of life. The Mister and I have talked about doing away with “TV” and just watching Hulu and Netflix, but I can’t do it. The television experience just isn’t the same without commercial breaks. Don’t get me wrong, I still fast-forward through ads, but it comforts me to know they’re there.
In honor of my weird affection for advertisements, for tonight’s trivia time we will be playing Name That Slogan!

3. is KFC, I guess. Besides that, I think there is an Atlantic Ocean gap :)
I realized that I was being very US specific with my slogans after the fact. I think I may do another where I find slogans from around the world in the near future to put everyone on a more even footing.
