Great theories, ladies.<BR/><BR/>But I wonder, if we have to analyze it so much, and still can't come to a conclusion on what the ad is trying to accomplish, I guess the execs behind it kind of missed the boat, huh!?<BR/><BR/>:)<BR/><BR/>Jane, Pinks & Blues GirlsPinksandBluesGirlshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14227588614069311168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4272050448549694245.post-45307273126155402712007-07-11T11:49:00.000-04:002007-07-11T11:49:00.000-04:00We have that same commercial in the DC Area for Gi...We have that same commercial in the DC Area for Giant. I was up at my parents on Long Island and saw the one for stop and shop. I'm assuming this runs all over the country. And maybe they are making fun of the midwesteners for being so bland?Heather Hendersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12375564617007527283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4272050448549694245.post-55106827932388631352007-07-10T13:04:00.000-04:002007-07-10T13:04:00.000-04:00It's not Ohio, it's MinnesOHta.And I hadn't notice...It's not Ohio, it's MinnesOHta.<BR/><BR/>And I hadn't noticed how wrong the accent was until you just mentioned it. I was only thinking that the cranberry juice sounded like that annoying squirrel on Higglytown Heros that I can't wait for my boys to grow out of.<BR/><BR/>I think they also had one with a granola box with a surfer accent. That may have made more sense.Lissehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15275967932437157601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4272050448549694245.post-87041913875388236742007-07-09T12:13:00.000-04:002007-07-09T12:13:00.000-04:00You are exactly right.

I've had the same conversation with the hubby. <BR/><BR/>The big issue I have is that Aquafina is bottled in Acton, MA (it's Acton tap water put through a filter, BTW) and Ocen Spray cranberries are grown on the cape. The only way they'd be talking like that is after watching a Fargo marathon on the Sundance channel.Karahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08051433364695879305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4272050448549694245.post-82281296265316064462007-07-07T12:08:00.000-04:002007-07-07T12:08:00.000-04:00I saw that commercial for the first time just befo...I saw that commercial for the first time just before I read this post. I was all "What are those Minnesota accents all about?" My guess... they did one commercial and they're using it in every store regardless of name. Stop and Shop is owned by some big British corporation. They probably have the same commercial in London. Can you imagine THEIR confusion?margalithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09782326504951603071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4272050448549694245.post-63983020049069389732007-07-06T13:14:00.000-04:002007-07-06T13:14:00.000-04:00I'm in love with this site!!
