Arlinea's say CHEESE!

http://arlina1103.blogspot.com/2009/11/say-cheese.html?showComment=1258324143527#c2934647147638734653

I must say that I am a cheese lover as well, and I have to have cheese in just about anything I eat, but with the exception of Asian foods. And I agree with your idea about we eating the foods we love but disregarding that should we consume too much portion, it can cause bad health effects. But I think nowadays people start to get an idea that it is bad to eat too much of just one specific kinds of food-- which is why there's all these food systems commercial going on on T.V. Some people realized that they should cut the habit so they can live a better and healthier live in the future, but others don't, probably because the old habits are hard to get rid of.

And I've seen on commercials that the cheese slices such as Kraft are saying that their product is now 50% less fat or completely organic-- it's another way to make buyers purchase their product more with the label of less fat or made with whole organic milk and not processed. Maybe while they say that their cheese is made organic and have less fat, they add ingredients that makes us addict to the cheese and crave for more... Who knows? It's really difficult to tell whether the stuff we buy are truly organic or not.

The Chocolate for Any Occasion



When being compared to other chocolate brands such as Snickers and Hershey's, the spherical Ferrero Rocher chocolate seems strike to the audience as the kind of sweets enjoyed by the upper wealthy class-- hence the commercial of the ambassador party above, holding a silver tray piled with golden spherical delights in a shape of a pyramid. In Egypt, the peak of the pyramid represents their people's belief of reaching closer to god....



Even though this newest Ferrero Rocher commercial have no relation to Egypt whatsoever, it certainly holds relationship with the idea of a ''pyramid'', and of course, the gods and that the chocolate is enjoyed by the divine only-- then be discovered by man. Both commercials advertise the appeal to be surrounded by luxury and opulence, with soothing melody in the background, and people gathering together and socialize. And when we think of the words luxury and socialize together, it often leads us to think of being rich and having immense wealth.

But not only do the commercial appeals to the luxury surrounding this sweet treat, the package itself-- individually wrapped in gold and neatly placed next to each other in a clear box... And there the boxes comes in different shapes, too. Should one want to give it as a Christmas gift:

And you can even hang the bell-shaped ones on the Christmas tree.


There is even a heart-shaped container made just for Valentines Day to share with your boyfriend/ or girlfriend. But if that is not enough, and you just think flowers are too simple and they wilt less than two weeks, then how about an arrangement of Ferrero Rocher bouquet?

It makes great gifts on just about any occasion. And unlike various of other chocolate such as the Snicker and the Three Musketeers bars-- those are mostly grab and on-the-go products, or even more so like an energy boost to get the day going. Ferrero Rocher brings people together, whether it is family or someone you love.
