Has anyone seen a TV ad for a frozen dinner called Devour? The guy is talking to his mac and cheese
and the boss asks if he "spanked his pasta"? A bit strange for mainstream tv but is it a test?

The food you want to fork commercial? Slightly disturbing. Even my boys were like WTH?

I agree, but the purpose of an ad is to get you to try it. The more people who talk about it, the more likely one is to purchase it. My local store has the Devour entrees in their weekly ad.

Then again perhaps "spanked" has another meaning. Out of curiosity, I checked and yes there are multiple meanings. Pick your favorite.

I have not seen the ad but now I'm curious. And as DGO pointed out, that's the marketing goal.
