Today my class discovered a bag of Dove dark chocolates in the storage closet, and we quickly distributed them amongst all the students. Oh, what joy this brought to all of us! As little wrappers were taken off the chocolates, we soon discovered that words of wisdom were written on the foil. I heard shouts of proud chocolate-eaters proclaiming their quotes: "happiness is contagious" and "take a deep breath", things of this nature. "Wow these are so cool, I can't wait to see what mine says!" And then....I looked at my wrapper. What did I see written on the foil? An advertisement. An ad-ver-tise-ment. Imagine my disappointment.
A good quote would have brightened my dreary day, but I was denied the healing power of dark chocolate with a phrase that read "Enjoy the silky smoothness of DOVE."
Well Dove, I will think twice before "enjoying" your chocolates again. If I am already eating one of your products, I don't need to be reminded to buy more. Here's a thought: give me what I paid for, inspiring quote included.
Sincerely,
Blogger Lady
