Mom always knew what to feed us, and on Mother’s Day we grown-ups celebrate that. But we can’t forget those moments when you, Mom, devised new ways to get us to eat better–and the products that assisted in this war against all-things-Little Debbie.
In honor of Mother’s Day, we selected some of our favorite ads that feature mom turning the weird up-to-eleven just to get us to eat better. Happy Mothers’ Day to you Mom, but there are times when you make eating just plain awkward.
1. Skittles – We never want to “taste the rainbow” with Mom again after watching this ad.
2. Minute Maid – It’s weird enough drinking the over-sweetened fakeness that is this orange juice knock-off, but why did Mom enlist Robert Loggia to make us drink it? OK, fair enough, Robert Loggia is awesome (takes sip of D.)
