I mute the TV and head to the refrigerator when commercials come on. They have so many back to back now that one has time to cook a meal and eat it before the main program comes back on.

Re: adnohr -- why don't they do the taste tests...
I think the two companies have put their ad dollars into their other products, now that theirs have pretty much captured the world market. They market Taco Bell & Pizza Hut & other fast food enterprises. And water... Water's a big thing they market these days.

Even though I hardly ever watch the tube, you've made me curious. Why don't they do the taste tests commercials?
Is there something politically incorrect about them?

Some years ago I actually took part in a Coke-Pepsi 'taste-off' at a Toronto mall. I just happened to be there, and was among the people they grabbed. There were plenty of cameras as well, but I never got to see my performance - it probably ended up on the cutting floor...
