Pickles that Wiggle

This is the latest of football season Visa commercials. A husband and wife team at the local eatery while watching their favorite football team play. The couple tells us that they order a steak and cheese each week. They found that during one game when they wiggled their pickles their team either scored some points or made a good play. So now it is their good luck charm.

I can say that it might be the dumbest of all commercials. Surely the good people at Visa have more talented advertising marketers than that. Maybe not.

Maybe I am miffed that my team did very poorly... At least we won our season opener. Welcome back Joe!!!

"wiggle" and "pickle" should never be used in the same sentence! LOL

I'm sure any guy who could learn to wiggle his pickle would think himself a winner......

I am guessing the Visa people want the unspoken slogan to be.....

a couple who wiggles together, stays together

Well, you know, use your imagination!

You know, I tried that whole "wiggle the pickle" thing last night while watching Monday Night football at my favorite bar. It didn't work. And I'm not allowed back to the bar, either. It seems the "pickle" I was wiggling wasn't what they had in mind.
