Is it just me or does this ad for pistachio milk feel a little… pushy?
-
I’ve been here for a minute or two (twenty five years) and I am baffled by this truck, the product, and as they say: who is this man? who is this?
Who indeed, who indeed
I find NYC to be anthropologically fascinating in many ways, but the ways in which advertisers are quick to capitalize on/encourage a sense of "you've made it; you're a New Yorker; you are among the trendsetters; this weird nut milk no one has heard of is REALLY big here and you're a part of that, aren't you?"

Is it just me or does this ad for pistachio milk feel a little… pushy? over ambitious?
What? I don’t even get a say in this?
Just the whole city… captured by big nut.
(I think this would feel less alarming if they’d left off the word “now” — and it would feel less alarming if I didn’t feel so fragile at the moment about strange incomprehensible forces coming in and taking over out of nowhere)
@futurebird "captured by big nut"
Yes I'll take "things I never expected to see on a tombstone for $500"

@futurebird Big Nut has never been an appealing governing entity, if you catch my drift.
-
@futurebird The overflowing glass seems a bit extra.
Also, I don't like pistachios.
why can’t it just be
“buy our product. we think we did a good job making it. it’s like milk but made of nuts. idk. we ground them up and put them a cute little box with a screw cap (fancy!) just for you! maybe you like that? anyway. if you do we have the nut juice and will be here all day”
Anyone want to hire me to do their ads?

@futurebird …..great, the city is now running on something severely allergenic to me….(chuckles)
same— my unease is not helped by the fact that a teaspoon of that stuff would literally kill me.

@futurebird No, nor me either. Advertising isn't about stating the benefits of your product.

@futurebird
"The milk you can't stop pouring. No, really, stop pouring!""You'll get a 'stache from Táche!"
"Táche, we take the Pis out of Pistachio."
Yeah, they probably didn't have a lot to work with.

@Karen5Lund this. It is about overpowering senses and causing "buzz", whatever that is. If you don't create a scandal how are people going to talk about it for free online? Part of it worked, since we're talking about it, online, aren't we, @futurebird ?

@futurebird
the “now” bit makes it sound like a threat -

@futurebird Is it an answer to the Dunkin' ads? Did those run in NYC?
Around here we're constantly being told that "Boston runs on Dunkin'"

@futurebird I feel violated by that ad which is clearly. Spilling it. Everywhere!

@futurebird @Karen5Lund "Don't sell the pistachio milk, sell the sizzle. Put a cast-iron pan to the fire, wait until it's very hot, pour some pistachio milk.
Scream in pain as the instantly boiling pistachio milk scatters everywhere and burns your delicate skin.

@futurebird if it were in Philly, they could have said “Philly runs on Táche anymore,” and then it would be ok.

@futurebird @Karen5Lund But can I get it chocolate flavored? Basic nutritional information, there.

@futurebird The name makes it sounds like moustache milk, and although I don't know what that is exactly, I definitely don't want any.
