[TenTec] OT: Progresso Soup

[Mike Bryce]

whoa….one heck of a thread here…

Seriously, sending a email to complain about string can telephones in a soup ad, well, that’s odd even by my standards.

Now, that being said, my wife asked me the other day how they (the ad people) got the GEICO insurance pig, Milton, to talk.

I told her simply; if offered enough money, anyone will talk.

The Progresso ad has the string hanging loose and immediately taking a 90-degree turn when it emerges from the bottom of the soup can. This probably wouldn't bug me so much if a friend and I hadn't been semi-successful with a string and tin can "telephone" back in the 1950s, so I know how they work, and it's not like that!
