SNL At-Home: Grocery Store Ad

[Rhiannon12866]

An advertisement for a grocery store helps sell less-sought-after products with the help of two employees (Kate McKinnon, Aidy Bryant).

1. ROFL!

The only thing is, I actually like Dasani Water and pick it over the others. Why wouldn't people like it? Am I missing something?

2. I don't buy bottled water so that went past me, too

All I could think of was "Monk," from the series, who would sooner die of thirst than drink another brand than his choice.

3. I think it's because it's just tap water that's been filtered.

It's not spring water, etc. Kinda like paying for Coca Cola, minus the carbonation, and soda ingredients--at a premium!

4. It's called 'native advertising' ... since everyone has DVR's now all the ads are moving into the

shows themselves.

They think they're clever by having their products get slagged on the shows that they pay to have them on, thinking it'll be less obvious to viewers ... iow, they think we'll be all 'why would they pay for host/star to diss their product, that makes no sense' ... but they absolutely do.

John Oliver's show is a great example. He has ads constantly, but he damn near always rips on the products ... so it makes it less obvious.

Dasani is TTBOMK the water they make Coca-Cola products out of.

5. That was pretty funny!

Hits pretty close to home as to my recent online shopping experiences lately!

Thanks for posting!

6. I thought this one was especially relevant!

Not much seems to have changed since the last time I went to the grocery store, they were out of things that you wouldn't necessarily expect - like tuna fish, canned soup, mayonnaise and mustard! But now they have bread and plenty of salad greens.

7. the substitution of useless things for what you order-as I've always imagined from home delivery

I have had items shipped with no problems(never home delivery), but that is what I'd always imagined would happen. In this climate what are you going to do? Complain at people literally exposing themselves to COVID-19 to do so?
