I heard the brand new ad campaign for Vlasic pickles as I was cruising the Downs, and almost fell out of my chair.
In the ad, a couple of children are apparently about to share some Vlasic pickles. One child asks: "Is it juicy? Is it crunchable?" The tag line of the commercial is "Vlasic pickles. Juicy and crunchable!"
If this wasn't lifted straight from Gollum's most famous line, I'll eat my hat!
I'm afraid I'll never be able to look at a jar of Vlasic pickles now without busting out laughing. A shame, really, for they are pretty good pickles. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
