OREO

Dear OREO (R),

As a long time customer I have an idea to present you from my tastebuds.

Lets give up on trying to market the Original OREO to the growing masses (yes double meaning). I propose a name change, switching Double Stuf OREO into "OREO" and turn the original OREO into "OREO Lite" (or something diet es).

First reason: The results from my polling show that 100% of customers polled, prefer Double Stuf to regular Oreo. Some will NOT BUY OREO's unless the store provides Double Stuf.

A second reason for this name change is, international markets. With international stores only selling the original flat Oreo's many foreign fans are left wishing for more. Change the name and the Lite will be the hard to find cookie not the other way around. Lets get'em hooked and coming back for more. Milk sales will also sky rocket, but who cares about them.

My third reason, shoppers may buy the OREO lite is for the health conscious eater. Some may buy just because it says LITE. Dieting shoppers may be drawn to a sweet treat with less ...whatever. The 100 Calorie Packs were a good idea, but what about a snack you can buy in bulk (but is also a good cookie) to market to bulk buyers, or party makers, as well as previous customers who love the habit of twist lick and dip.

Thank you for your attention to this suggestion "out side of the box".

:)


My only Con comment comes from neurosciencemarketing.com

Does the market really need 16 flavors of Goldfish crackers, including “Blazin’ Buffalo Wing Flavor Blasted Goldfish... 46 Kinds of Oreos – Including Purple?"

Learning something new

If I could learn one language, it would be Latin.
If only to sing songs like THIS.

like the moon you are changeable	ever waxing and waning
since Fate strikes down the strong man	everybody weep with me.

Drunk Driving

Here is an example of a PSA.

and here is my advertising groups idea:
Setting: A bar.
Characters: Two friends , a girl, background people.
Actions: Two guys talking hanging out, notice the girl across the bar.
Marcus: I'm gonna go buy her a drink.
Allen: Go for it.

Marcus talks to Sarah. He buys her a drink. They hangout, keep drinking and dancing. Allen leaves with a wave.
At the end of the night, Marcus and Sarah get into Marcus' car. They drive off smoothly.

Close up of Marcus face.
"Allen, remember the girl last night at the bar. We stayed out after the bars closed and stopped at that pizza place. Turns out she's a Sigma. I told her I'd give her a ride home.

[Slow pan out, see him sitting in a chair]
I wasn't that buzzed, I've driven with more.
Her name was Sarah.

[show newspaper cutout: Obituary, Sarah- 23 died passenger in car crash.]
{pan out wrecked car behind him, his leg in a small brace.]

Relationships

My first boyfriend was Peter. He was the first boy to ask me out and my first kiss.
We broke up over text.
It was a fun two weeks.

I've had a few beaux since Peter. But this little video I found ( i did not create it) helps explain how I feel about dating.

The emotions, the actions, the hype. When all that's needed is two people to "Come together" as the Beatles say.

These are my past love songs:
1: The way I am - Ingrid Michaelson
2: Amazing Love (You are my King) 3: The Call - Regina Spektor
4: Come Together- Beatles
5: Here in your Arms - Hello Goodbye
6: Hands down - Dashboard Confessional
7: Infatuation - Christina Aguilera
8: Thousand Miles - Vanessa Carlton
9: Hot n Cold - Katy Perry
10: Something There - Beauty and the Beast
And here is a wonderful little philosophy provided by Indexed

Ah Technology

I used to have to worry about writing appointments and assignments down. What notebook, or Calendar I'd jotted the brief memorandum. I've sat on , washed and forgotten many PDA's in the last 7 years.
But now i get to attempt not only which Computer I placed my reminder, but also what Name I saved it under. Folders, flashdrive/ USB, and program.
Where oh where could my little assignment be?

Did I email it to my work account, my personal account, or my junk email account?
Is it posted on the internet?

Forget simplifying with better technology. If you don't know how to use it. It's just a very expensive paperweight.
