Diapers, baby formula, car seats, and other infant paraphernalia, that’s what the vast majority of the commercials were for during those shows. I guess it made sense that stay-at-home moms with young children would be a large part of the target audience during day-time TV.
The ads that annoyed me the most were the ones for the pull-ups. You know, the ones with the smiling kid off on her wait to the toilet. And that annoying jingle – “I’m a big kid now” – I could hardly get it out of my head.
I hated the simplicity of it. Just put these pull-ups on and you can be potty-trained in no time. I never quite understood why a company would market a product designed specifically to get a person to stop using their products. Just seems so counterproductive.
