I'll thank you to leave my kraut out of this!

DYED-TO-MATCH SAUERKRAUT.



All I have to say is some marketing person was on some fantastic drugs when they came up with this.

BATKRAUT.

HAHAHAHA I know! This ad is like...an orgy of WTF.

[nonentityb.livejournal.com]

There's a lot of crazy absurdity in this ad (kids having "kraut-dyeing parties"?!), but, oddly enough, I find the hardest thing to believe is that the grinning woman in the red shirt is supposed to be a teenager.

A teenager who holds FOOD-DYEING PARTIES.

Gettin' hooked on the 'kraut can really age a girl.

Nothing beats digging into a Huge Bowl of Green Kraut for St. Patricks day...

Edit everything else out. Behold Dragon Lady, front and center, in black vinyl “mad scientist” gloves and a challenging expression, holding out a bowl of green substance.

Seriously, that woman does look pretty ominous (and I want her outfit! :D).

:((((((((((((((

Those women scare me. Especially the one on the far right D:

"I haven't had so much fun since Lindy took me barnstorming in 'The Spirit of St. Louis'!"

I have to admit, this make me die a little.

I'm scared.

That's not Conrad Veidt in your icon, is it?

Yes, I'm icon-obsessed this week.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_chiroptera/]

No it's Dave Vanian from The Damned. :)

[wikdsushi.livejournal.com]

Hey, hot *and* alive! :)

[meig.livejournal.com]

I remember when food coloring came in glass bottles like that and not the plastic ones.

[cicadaqueen.livejournal.com]

I love your icon! Also, I have to laugh at 'us kids' having kraut dyeing parties.

[zhukora1.livejournal.com]

This ad makes me weep inside. Weep I tell you!

[lambent.livejournal.com]

They're all holding bowls of dyed brains. I know it.



(Best of all? Its kraut from a CAN.)

Granny looks unconvinced

[wikdsushi.livejournal.com]

I'll take it plain, thanks. Maybe with caraway seeds.

[tanwen.livejournal.com]

Black sauerkraut seems like something a Klingon would eat. Gagh anyone?

[behindthechalet.livejournal.com]

mmm, I loves me some sauerkraut but I'm a bit suspicious of sauerkraut that looks like neopolitan ice cream.

[maz-z.livejournal.com]

Why is Mama so much shorter than everyone else? :(

[anitakay.livejournal.com]

She likes her Kraut plain and uncolored. The emphasis of the advertisement is on the food coloring--Mama must be boring with her plain Kraut. What I don't understand is why the Aunt chooses to buy the Kraut instead of maker her own. The way it is in the advertisement making your own saurkraut would not be difficult.

[tootyjane.livejournal.com]

This has got to be the weirdest ad ever. What is up with that tiny lady in the front?

[polkadottedwall.livejournal.com]

I love when my food matches my outfit.

[anitakay.livejournal.com]

Cousin Nina reminds me of the Bride of Frankenstine...for some odd reason, maybe it is her hair.

[bzul.livejournal.com]

Eat it, or weave pot-holders and lanyards with it in summer camp arts & krauts, or fling it at midnight on New Year’s Eve.

Line Easter Baskets with it…to hold festive colored eggs. Dye, monster, dye!

(WFMU was playing something by “Kraut” as I typed this!)

[morwen_peredhil]

Never once have I looked at sauerkraut and thought it needed jazzing up with food coloring. I wish no one else had either.

[anne-jumps.livejournal.com]

What? What? Seriously?

[sorcerer-mickey.livejournal.com]

Reminds me of the 7-Up "Uncola" ads in the '70s that told you to avoid the stigma of being seen drinking a clear soft drink by adding drops of food coloring to your 7-Up to make it "cola colored".
