Truth in Advertising

Just saw a commercial for Arby's "5 Roast Beef Sandwiches for 5 Bucks" deal. The voiceover explains that the roast beef on the sandwiches is "juicy not greasy." I'll take the voiceover's word on that. Although, I'd trust the talking oven mitt a bit more.

Why do commercials use cartoons to sell things to adults?

I don't know matt -- I bet a lot of adults wouldn't mind having a mitt with a big smiley mouth in the palm.

I know this may be child like behavior on my part but why else would any one eat Pillsbury products if it weren't for that PILLSBURY DOUGHBOY??!!
