I like this, so I say Yes.

Except... people need to STOP calling the highways by names! Aggghhh.... That's my biggest pet peeve in Chicago. For newcomers or visitors, they have no idea what highway is what when they're called by names instead of the (mapped out) numbers.

They do the same in New York City, where I-278 has several names (The Brooklyn-Queens Expressway, the Gowanus Expressway, the Bruckner Expressway, etc.), but I think if you started referring to the Interstates as I-55, I-290, I-90/94 etc. the locals would get messed up.

Yes! That ad is wonderful and it's the first Morton Salt TV ad I've seen in a long time.
