I was wasting my time on checking out YouTube when I came across this video clip from Buy Me That! an old 1980s special that taught kids the tricks in advertising. In this particular clip a "makeup artist for food" — these days they would be known as a food stylist — teaches everyone how to make burgers look tasty and delicious.
BellaSugar recently rented a cute Smart Fortwo car — be sure to
check out her adventures. Hearing about the car's tiny size made me think of the scene in that old Mentos commercial. You know, the one where the girl's teeny tiny car gets wedged into a parking spot and she needs four burly dudes to come help her out?

I know, it's hard to believe, but we love cookies here at the Sugar HQ. We talked about them for so long on Friday, that I ended up doing a YouTube search to find old cookie commercials. I was sorting through the odds and ends — strangely there are a ton of homemade cookie commercials on YouTube — when I came across this one from Mother's Cookies.

The annual
International Home and Housewares Show begins next week in Chicago. Each year there are always a lot of interesting gadgets and gizmos — I'm sure we'll be hearing about a lot of items for our
What Is This game — as it seems that everyone has something innovative up their sleeves.
Every time I think about innovative new kitchen gizmos, I always end up thinking of those vintage 1960s Kitchen of Tomorrow type of videos.

I was trolling around YouTube looking for a fun
foodie flashback, when I struck gold. In a before he was famous moment,
Brad Pitt is seen here hawking Pringles potato chips. The commercial itself is actually a bit weird.
