Fork Yeah! Make a Salad that Rocks

TOTALLY INAPPROPRIATE! Might as well say the real F word!

Stop trying to be cute and what editor would approve that headline.

These types of "play on words" commercials are very popular with the advertising agencies right now, @50shep52. There is a commercial where a family comes into a room and says "DAMP". Of course, it sounds like something else. It is for a product called Damp-Rid. All I can tell you is that a real funny commercial makes me "SHIP MY PANTS".........ooops, that play on words comes from an old K-Mart commercial where they were advertising they could ship your purchase of pants anywhere in the country. I would advise not to get offended and accept the humor for what it is. Some of it is in poor taste but none of the "play on words" commercials are as offensive to me as the ALL BODY DEODORANT SPRAYS that talk about spraying under boobs, crotches, and rear ends..... and while I am eating dinner, no less.

@50shep52 , was this an AARP article? Or just a general comment about something you read? NO pressure to reply, just wondering.

Good Morning. This was an email sent on June 30th from AARP called "What's for Dinner Cooking Series".

@50shep52 , thanks for responding to my question!!! And YES, I agree with what you had posted previously. But keep in mind, the AARP of years ago NO longer exists. It "use to be" an Organization that took "pride" in what they "publish". This year 2025, I am "blushing" for them at some (NOT all) of their material. Lol, it seems to have become the AGE 18+ members arena. Anyway, thanks for sharing. Happy 4th.

@nctarheel , I wish the owner of this discussion would "share" WHERE this offense is? Anyway, the way I see it as I age = I can choose NOT to "listen - see - read" anything that OFFENDS me. Take care my friend & HAPPY 4th when it gets here!!!
