You kids get back on my lawn

It's been months upon months since my last post. An auspicious one. On a bacon-flavored substance.

Anyway, I know you've been huddled in a corner unable to leave your house without my valuable opinion to guide your view on life.

So I'm trying it again. But in a more sporadic fashion. Can't keep a blistering blog pace at the same time I'm writing spec screenplays that are sure to sell for ones of dollars.

So you'll take what I give you. And then you'll ask for more. And you might just get it. Might.

Welcome back me.

The ultimate bacon flavored spread

The portmanteau has infected food marketing for so long, it has become the food itself.

Soon there will be nothing left on our nation's shelves but Grapple juice and Mozzaroni.

Portmanteauing the line

Yep. Apparently all food marketers are now REQUIRED to use the portmanteau in their copy. It's built into the creative brief under "executional mandatories."

Incidentally, Mad Props to Mad Men for showing us that the portmanteau was crap creative even back in the '60s. "Bacardilicious." "Bacardilightful."Don Draper would've shit a brick if they gave him that crap.
