Which TV ads do you find confusing?

Are you sure it's not some kind of porridge and NOT mashed potatoes?

there's a recipe in my family that calls for marshmallows to be added to mashed yams...

No, I'm not sure.....but it's all whipped up with peaks and swirls...looks like mashed potatoes...Plus it's a whole tablespoon of vanilla, that's a lot of vanilla. I tried searching the McCormick's site, but no luck as yet. I have jazzed up sweet potatoes with vanilla but that's because I hate sweet potatoes. I also toss in butter, brown sugar, nutmeg and cinnamon until I can't taste the sweet potatoes.

I've seen some of those recipes but since I don't like marshmallows or mashed yams, I've never tried it. Some people love it.

Maybe it's whipped cream.

I get annoyed by TV ads that say, but wait!!! Now you can have two. Just pay a seperate fee. They proceed to tell you at the end you get two all for the original fee without mentioning the separate charge.

I was thinking that, or frosting.

Apparantly vanilla in mashed potatoes is a thing.

There are a number of recipes for it on google.

it enhances the flavor somehow without sweetening it...

Cancer treatment medicines that kill you faster than the cancer does. Why take unnecessary risks?

Can you please be more specific as to what medication(s), and where you saw a TV ad for this?

The side effects are the same as overdosing. So you'll never really know if the medicine is doing it's job or killing you.

It's advertised late night. Can't remember the channel though.

Yeah.
The side effects of any drug or other treatment for cancer, in this case leukemia, aren't fun.

Each individual reacts differently to various cancer treatments.

Unfortunatley, I believe science has not yet found a drug that attacks only the cancer cells, although I think there has been advancements. Research continues.

From just a quick look, it seems the patient survival rate on Imatbib (aka Gleevec) after 30 months is an astounding (to me at least) 91% plus. The 5 year survival rate is high also. I think around 85%

Those with untreated acute myelogenous leukemia only live for months without treatment.

Hope that helps with any confusion.

Back to confusing TV ads.

Some I can't even figure out what the product or service is they are selling.

So....I can't even describe them.

Some truly bizarro ads come on in the wee hours. I remember one with Lee Majors sitting in a wing back chair asking "Remember Me, I was the bionic man" and he continues with this pitch for the Bionic Ear, in other words...A Hearing Aid"....all in all I guess it was a little clever, but it made me laugh and everybody else was asleep so I couldn't yell "Look at that".

Commercials are a huge part of the reason I dumped TV, cable and just pay $14.99 for 2 NF screens. One here, the other my friend uses in Mex.

I know a few that's irritating.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UIDphMTn8I0

I remember this ad on late night TV. It says 2007, but I think it has to be way before that.

The creep factor with both those guys giving the "head nod" to come over to the ladies always got me.

Nothing says "I'm a vaguely unattractive guy and want to hook up with a stereotype of a sex crazed, inappropriately younger (but not really younger) woman" like Maxoderm.

Yes, yes, all the old jocks crowing about how wonderful the male enhancement supplements are and how all the little ladies are so happy...and they are peddling this fairy dust to other old farts because they don't care what happens to the other old farts.

Do you remember the ads for the cream that was supposed to make your breasts larger??? They weren't on TV, mostly ads in the back of the sleazy mags you could find in beauty shops back in the early 60's.
