Do the shreddies ads involving the grannies make you less likely to buy shreddies?

deleriumtremens

They do for me. Dont know WHY shreddies chose that as their ad campaign!

FearDark

Mmm... GILF's

I just hate the word 'nana'. Makes my skin crawl. Shreddies are mank anyway.

Being a granny myself, i'd have to say no.

mobius42

Nope. The fact that they taste like sawdust does.

Back when I was young, I used to get great satisfaction, when my bowl appeared to be empty, only for half a shreddie to float in the milk.
Dunno why

I don't eat cereal, or breakfast for that matter. So no.
I don't like the ad's though...

Never thought of that actually. Of course though, one old man, surrounded by a factory of young, old ones, ye, he's likely to see a lot of things nana knitted alright!

Tbh, that sounds like a plan that could be offered by FF, "it's a money spinner, it'll make cash quick, cheap labour and cost to buy is cheap," until they realise... "oh yeah"..
And then run and when confronted blame someone else.

Yeah, there could be whole cottage industry there, with people knitting condoms...they'd keep ya warm in winter , too! :pac:

Don't put the government in charge though. They'd just feck it up.

Hmmm, this thread has headed in a very strange direction.

Nope, don't eat them anyway. If I wanted diarrhoea from a bowl of food I'd just head down to my local Chinese for their "chicken" curry......

If they're trying to imply shreddies taste like knitting... That would put me off :eek:

I dunno but my granddaughter was very bad at eating cerial until she saw that add. Now she eats shreddies for breakfast and I have today I had to put a little bag in her lunch box. Everytime we get an new box she checks to top to see who are they knitted by.. always waiting to see nanny gubby. god forbid. I even thought of writing to them to suggest a granny competition to get your name in the box.
