Denny’s introduces free refills on fries, pancakes [progress]

Their Grand Slam breakfasts are excellent. They’re open 24/7 and their refills are free. How could Denny’s possibly get any better? (aside from giving us all another round of free Grand Slams).
By offering free refills of pancakes and fires, that’s how.
A corporate press release has the details:
Starting now and continuing through the end of March, [...]

Here is one way to boost newspaper sales

I used this picture before in my post on the wonders of credit cards and chargebacks, but with all of the talk of the decline of print journalism, I thought it was worth running again. After all, it is a uniquely American solution to problem of not having enough change for the newspaper box.

I’m not sure what [...]

Raising morale [ads]

In honor of the Commercial Bowl, I thought it appropriate to reflect on the wonderful ability of Madison Ave. to not only sell us products, but also lift our national spirits and restore faith in the American dream as well. The NASDAQ Visionaries ads were quite good, but no one does it better than Allstate.

The world the way it should be…

Sometimes all it takes is a picture to remind us that progress is still possible.
God Bless America!

Best attack ad ever? [video]

Negative campaigning is one of the great things about America. And thanks to the Internet and an increasingly competitive economic environment, we are seeing more negative ads than ever targeting both politicians and companies.
A friend sent me a link to this ad out of the Orleans Parish Coroner’s race (I think Coroner is one step up from [...]

Flowers: any hour of the day or night [Open 24/7]

24/7 Technology is one of the things that make America Great.
Some things—like drug stores, coffee shops and diners—are just meant to be open 24-hours. It is expected that the drug store will be open when you need it and that the diner will always have a light on for you. And when they don’t, it [...]

#25. Delivery

The French—and professional food whiners like Michael Pollan—might have the time to enjoy an organic, locally-grown, slow-food lifestyle. But for the rest of us,  shopping at the farmers’ market all day and slaving over a stove all night is simply out of the question.
We don’t have time to chop vegetables, marinade meat or sit around [...]

Eat fast food to save time and money

Fast food is a wonderful, all-American thing.
Not only is delicious, ubiquitous and available from drive-thru windows, but it is also a tremendous value.
In the spirit of New Year’s weight loss resolutions, the folks over at Ecoslaon took a look at the calorie counts of a few delicious fast food items. First on their list was [...]

Domino’s Pizza is doing some trash talking [video]

Domino’s might have been founded by someone with rather strict religious beliefs, but Tom Monaghan invented modern delivery pizza, and for that we all owe him a debt of gratitude.  Even after his departure, Ann Arbor based Domino’s Pizza is continuing to innovate in the pizza delivery market by introducing the kind of taunting negative ads [...]

Ads that sell products and restore faith [commercials]

With all of the bad economic news these days it’s easy to lose faith in the American economy and start questioning our system. I find myself doing it sometimes. But just when I’m about ready to give up and start waving a red flag, I invariably see some ad on TV that not only convinces [...]
