Six Flags: "Hey, if the TRON-o-rail was cook, check these out!"

*EDIT* So uh, I spelled "cool" wrong LOL. It's supposed to say if the TRON-o-rail was *COOL* not cook.
Here's the wrong way to ad-wrap your trains.

That's just wrong. But maybe Disney could advertise on Universal Studios rides? :twisted:

As I looked through those, I kept wondering if Trojan or Kotex had a train somewhere, or perhaps Charmin. Wombat, let's get one of those coasters, and we'll build it so it zips by the Monorail.

By the way, for the record, I choose my toilet paper very much based on advertisement. If I see one of their ads on TV or the back of Reader's Digest (you know, the one with a bear with its butt toward viewer perspective, showing momma bear that it has three bits of toilet paper stuck to its butt) I will NOT buy their product. Also, if the packaging shows its softness using the picture of a baby's face...


My opinions are mine and mine only. If my opinions are the opinion of others who happen to share whatever my crazy views may be, then fine, but it's not because I represent them in having my opinions. Got it?

I either get one with no noticeable logo, or the one with the puppy. TP is one of those areas where, if you ever visit my house, you will find that I don't skimp or save any money.

Thing is, if I get the one with the puppy, I have to put the packaging away because otherwise I get this visual that I am picking up a poor young Labrador Retriever and using it to... well, you'll have to use your imagination knowing what the stuff is for.

The worst though was the one with a picture of a baby. Seriously, do I want to look at a baby's facial cheeks and think "Wow! This TP is JUST as soft!"

I think not.

Sorry, I'm visual in some of the worst ways.

Aren't we being overwhelmed by advertising enough? I hate pop-up ads on the internet, but if I saw nothing but ads on a ride, I wouldn't go on it--maybe even not go to the park that uses its rides for advertising. Ads don't belong on ride vehicles, anyway.

As for TP, I recently was allowed to bring home our old stock of it from work, since my church (I'm the janitor) now has Cintas supplying our paper and cleaning supplies. But one of my roommates bought some more TP--think it was the one with the puppy--since, come on, do you have any idea how fast 7 women can go through the stuff? The only thing we go through faster is coffee!

Speaking of toilet paper, my husband, who works for the same chain I do, was sent to another store to be receiving manager for a bit. While he was there he got to handle a customer complaint about toilet paper. The customer stated that they had purchased the Charmin Ultra Strong and that it had blocked up their pipes so bad it was beyond plunging. They had to have RotoRooter out and were looking for compensation.


I prefer Scott, the really thin stuff, so I can wad it up. Seem to go thru it slower.
