Culture Wars: The Junk Food Front

I've eaten my fair share of chips over the years, but this is just stupid.


Procter & Gamble Co. soon will print trivia questions and answers on its Pringles snack chips, a move analysts say could be a hit with young people.

"We think kids are going to love it," Jamie Egasti, Procter & Gamble's vice president for North American snacks, told The Associated Press on Wednesday. "It's a great way to add fun to the lunch."

If scarfing over-packaged, junk food printed with blue food dye is your idea of fun, you may want to reconsider your diet and/or your parenting skills.

I remember reading a work of fiction many years ago where the main character was a marketing executive who was trying to deal with a horrible mistake his company made. The dye in their breakfast cereal made the kids pee red.

Sorry, this just made me think of that.

I envision a bunch of young kids not complaining because they don't notice the ads.

This kinda reminds me of The Out-of-towners movie with Steve Martin, where he accidentally licks a stamp laced with LSD and runs around looking for new "advertising space." Makes you wonder what those execs do when they're not working.
