Hyper-marketing

Summer is upon us and it's time for a refreshing new experience. Imagine walking on hot sand or taking a nap in a hammock with a mysterious tube in your mouth.


"Taking a nap in a hammock with a mysterious tube in your mouth"? Is this the intersection of our failing medical system and the Right To Life movement?

No, it's just another installment of hypermarketing.

The Cool Hunter


Icee(TM) boring? Put it in a tube! Yogurt boring? Put it in a tube! Straws are so last year!

Riding on the coat-tails of those other marketing jauggernauts -- toothpaste, Prep-H & anal lube -- frozen fruit pulp is preparing to catapult itself from mere frozen blender cocktail to .... well..... frozen fruit pulp in a tube. Very modern. ( Modern evidently meaning "post-freon age", apparently. )

The model in the picture almost looks embarrassed to have her picture taken with this "tube" in her mouth. We all know how easy it is to embarrass people who have almost-nude pictures of themselves posted on billboards.
