Blackberries for sale at ...... Pathmark???

I was sitting on Second Avenue this morning, as I was avoiding the parking lot that is the FDR ( purists, I KNOW its the HRD above 125th Street, get over it) and trying to shift and not get hit by a Sleepy's truck when I heard out of the corner of my ear the following part of a commercial

"... Blackberries, Blueberries and Cranberries.."

So this having caught my attention, I started listening, figuring that the Blackberry Phone Company ( again, purists, I KNOW that isn't the corporate name, just go with it) was putting out colored phones with different names. The ad continued..

" ... for $2.00..."

NOW my interest was really piqued, WOW, phones for 2 bucks! what a deal! Some Doorbuster, I wonder who is offering this deal ??? I started actively listening, while popping third gear and getting really close to that truck....

"... at Pathmark this week..."

of course, along with other wonderful deals on produce and sundry grocery items.


It just goes to show you how perception of every day items have been taken over with the digital age. Or that our reality is what we are thinking about. Or that we don't really pay attention to ads on the radio unless something grabs us, which is , of course, the basis of marketing.

NOT sent from my Blackberry, Blueberry, or Cranberry
