Chips Ahoy and the Human League
I am definitely the demographic that the advertisers are trying to hit in the evening drama/sitcom time slot. In addition to the Back to the Future bit, I’m hearing more and more 80’s songs being used in commercials. Apparently, those marketing geniuses think that there are many middle-aged (am I middle aged, yet?) lazy bums sitting around basking in the glow of the boob tube, just waiting to be enticed to a bag of cookies by the sweet sounds of The Human League. Little morsels of chocolatey goodness are just calling out to me from the TV with the sweet lyrics, “Don’t you want me, baby?” Why, yes I do! Let me just run out and snarfle down a bag of cookies. :)
Yeah, I’m not that easy. Not that I don’t want to be, but my calorie counter would not like a full bag of Chips Ahoy logged into a day’s meals. I’m trying to lose that middle-age poundage, you know? ;)
Here’s the Chips Ahoy commerical via YouTube.
Follow the “more” tab (see it? right down there in blue?) to see the original video by the Human League.

I have seen this commercial too. It is pretty funny. I wouldn’t say either of us have reached middle age yet. That happens at about 40 or 45 I think so we both have at least a few more years to go. But how I do love chocolate chip cookies! …….. and The Human League.

Doug: Well, let me know when you hit middle age, and I’ll know I have a 4 year warning. ;)
