I HATE the grocery store one where they make fun of someone paying a compliment to a store manager. I've viewed the whole ad campaign as complete trash since then.

Remember, it's a football game, not a playdate.

I don't need to know the waiters name, either.

I’ve done that for years. If they don’t tell me their name, the first thing I do is ask. I never introduce myself but always get their name.

Much easier asking for “Brian” if you need something. Compared to “can you get my waiter” or “hey sir”.

His line about "Nobody knows who those people are" is pretty good

My favorite is "This is a freezer, it's not a time capsule."

Both sets of grandparents would store or freeze everything in milk cartons. Everything from fish (after fileting) to chili to chicken spaghetti. They’d break out a milk carton or have a fish fry when us grandkids arrived.


Welcome to my childhood. So many bordens milk cartons.

I used to think my dad was crazy when he'd get home from work and hand water the front yard. I do it every day now.

Except their parents didn't do that.

I reuse the expensive bags too. Unless I put meat or dairy in them.

These commercials remind me of my grandparents and I aspire to be like them, not my parents.

Miss and think about them every single day.

The paper tickets at airport hits hard. That is me because the AA app is total trash.

It was always a good night when you'd come in the house to find milk cartons thawing in the sink with sac-a-lait written in marker on them.

We were walking in a parking lot, and a lady was trying to back a Suburban out of a tight spot. I directed her out. Someone commented that it looked like one of these commercials.
