View Full Version : Homemade... isn't necessarily good.

"Tastes like homemade."

Advertisers use this line all the time to try and get me to buy their products. But let's think about this for a minute. What if you, and everyone else in your home, is a bad cook? In that case, I sure as hell don't want to buy anything that tastes like it was "homemade."

"Just like mom used to make it."

My mom always was, and still is, a horrible cook. I began cooking myself, not because I enjoyed cooking, but because I didn't enjoy eating anything she cooked. And I'm not a good cook either, but I'm a little better at it than she is.

If advertisers want to sell to me, they need to come up with a different approach. How about this for a slogan:

"It beats that rat shit you had last night." :D

Well my mother AND my step mom are BOTH wonderful cooks.Part of having a Cajun heritage I guess.Hardly a shitty cook in the family period.Even I can cook good,made my living as a sous chef and short order cook for over a decade.
So "like homemade" means the best damn food you ever tasted to me.The avg
mom (at least if you are in your 40's)is a fine cook.If you are under 30 and have an 80's child as your mom,then you probably eat mostly fast food and tv dinners.In which case, I suggest YOU take cooking lessons and start doing the cooking in the house.

Well it most certainly beats rat shit :D

I'll prefer to go with 'skunk' rather then homegrown normally.

I don't have time for cooking lessons. I'm too busy growing the food I can grow, and earning the money to buy the food I can't grow.
