I get why Pop Tarts is selling jackets and body wash
Last week I questioned the decision by Pop Tarts to start selling body wash, bath bombs, and crunchy jackets. Really, it was ,ore of me asking why. What reason do they have?

Ask yourself just how much you really love Pop Tarts
Maybe, Pop Tarts hold a nostalgic place in your heart as the breakfast you held in your hand as you rushed out the door to make it to the school bus. Or maybe it’s the go-to snack you get from vending machines. Or maybe just maybe it is just pure sugar enough for you eat…

Time for a rant, because the slang is cringe
Perhaps I’m jaded, but there is something about slang being used in ads that makes me cringe. The “slay” and “it’s giving” from corporate content just makes me recoil. It reeks of, “Hello fellow teenagers.” Now, I’m not saying that there is never a time to use current slang. What I am saying is that…
