Moral Victory For Popcorn

[joggerjayne]

I will try to find a link in a minute, but here's the deal (from today's paper).

Research has shown ...

When we first see an advert, say in a cinema, our lips subconsciously say the name of new products.

That helps imprint them on our brains.

Unless ... yes, you got it ... we are munching popcorn.

Then, our lips don't do the word forming thing.

In other words ... we popcorn lovers are less gullible.

We are therefore more intelligent.

And a bit prettier.

And we have better personalities.

And nicer butts.

Okay, okay, I made up those last few.

But I think that making us less gullible to advertising is ...

A moral victory for popcorn.

Butt, er, kissed.

the same is true if there's an ice lolly in your mouth. Or a friend's finger. Of these, popcorn is by far the least attractive and the most overpriced.

Okay okay, Douglas ... although that is a particularly sickly brand.
