9nines Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Has anyone seen this commercial? I saw it once. It has a Chevrolet truck, with a teacher-type adult, and several grade-school aged children sitting on the ground. The teacher asks how many of the children are vegetarians. About 5 of the seven raise their hands. The teachers then says, you know this truck is a vegetarian. Then he goes on to describe flex fuel, etc. and then ends so you can see this truck is sort of a vegetarian. The kids laugh but act intelligent and say, well, maybe. It actually is a positive spin on vegetarianism. First, it indicates the majority of the kids are vegetarians (I could actually see non-vegetarian parents taking offense to that because it tries to imply most kids are) and it shows that being vegetarian is a good thing, trying to advertise the truck is one. Anyone else seen it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone else seen it? I hadn't, but it sounds good. Even if flexfuel may be bunk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finbarrio Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Yes, I saw that, but I just assumed that I was hallucinating. It's surprisingly cool, and a HUGE shift from the big truck-big man mentality that seems pervasive in those circles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CollegeB Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 I think I keep losing weight because I drive. My body sees no need to hold onto calories. Sounds like a good commercial...time to youtube! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
