Menu Advertising
I'm fed up with advertising invading my meal choices. When small mom and pop places did it in the past, it was kinda cute. You could argue that it was needed in order to offset their costs. With the advent of the laser printer though. I can't understand it. These tri-fold menus are obviously not printed professionally.
The most offensive are the menus at Cheesecake Factory. Is there any logic that this company needs to have advertising for others filling up an already monstrous menu selection. I can see that it was hip back in the 80s and 90s. While I worked at Activision, I thought it sick and twisted that they left the add with Ron Goldman in after he was killed. Someone needs to tell them that it is time to stop. This goes for movie theater ads as well, but that is another rant.
There is one funny thing that occurs occasionaly. Often times the smaller establishments print cupons in their ads. Ok there is some redeeming grace for me there. However, why do they laminate the menu?
Happy Dining.
