Potluck List Wednesday: “Mad Men” Edition

Posted by: Mattt Thompson on: July 30, 2009

For the last couple of weeks, [devlunch] has been host to a feature we have endearingly called “Potluck List Wednesday”. Just like it’s delicious real-world equivalent, these are an opportunity for everyone to bring something to the table in the open lists of the week, such as Internet Memes and Horror Movie Clichés.

This time around, I’m proud to have Potluck Lists cross-posted between both the main site blog and [devlunch]. After all, with a potLuck, more people can only mean more delicious variety!

Where’s the Beef?

Hello, I’m a Mattt.

The theme this week is “Famous Advertisements”. From the heyday of advertising in the 1960’s to the viral campaigns of today, marketers have expertly crafted messages that are nearly impossible to get out of your head.

“Good to the last drop”, “Breakfast of Champions”, “Melts in your mouth, not in your hands”, “Is it live, or is it Memorex?”

Unless these were before your time, there’s a good chance your craving some combination of coffee, cereals, candy and a cassette tapes. Wait, that sounds dangerous…

Anyway, you’re probably thinking a few of your favorites already, so why not head over and add it to our list! With such a diversity of countries and cultures represented on smart.fm, I can’t wait to see the kind of ads that really stuck in Germany or Japan, for instance.

So let your fingers do the walking, and get N or get out! All Your Base Are Belong To Us! A mind is a terrible thing to waste. Be all that you can be. It’s so easy a caveman can do it. Just do it!
