This Apple Walks into a Bar... (Joke Ad)
Trader Joe's has the best name for their fruit bars! They're called stuff like "This Apple Walks into a Bar", "This Strawberry Walks into a Bar", etc., depending on what kind of fruit it is. I love the name, but they don't finish the joke. Maybe they could make an ad for them (let's say the apple kind, just for the sake of argument), where they finish the joke, saying: "This apple walks into a bar... And then it gets flayed alive, eviscerated, hacked to pieces, scalded in an oven, baked into a pastry, smothered in plastic wrap, and then bitten, masticated, swallowed, and burned in a dark pit of stomach acid! Oh, my God! The joke's on it!" And their ad mascot could be a maniacal apple (or whatever kind of fruit is in the bar) dressed up like Leatherface (from The Texas Chain Saw Massacre), wearing a mask made of another apple's skin, held on by rubber bands.
