New Kit Kat commercial...

Bethany1202 @Bethany1202 (3431) • United States 24 Nov 09

Has anyone seen (or heard) the new Kit Kat commercial where they are crunching the Kit Kat bar by either biting it or breaking it or whatever and it sounds out their theme song or jingle... What do you think of it? I do like...

talfonso This commercial is one of the reasons why I don't buy as much KitKats anymore (not to mention that the biggest reason why is because I have to lose weight for a funeral because my relative is terminally ill)! The SFX and crunching to the tune of the jingle...

talfonso I love Swarovski, but I don't collect stuff from it. But one thing's for sure that I'm going to buy their individual rhinestones (from Create Your Style) and decorate a few things. I just feel that sense of envy when I see rhinestone-encrusted phone cases,...

talfonso I agree with few aspects of it, in particular food. As much as I hate grocery shopping, especially in Walmart, I think that's fine because it's an essential. But the rest I disagree, and employees missing out on church and/or family is not the only reason...

Shopping on Sunday

deebomb @deebomb (15304) • United States 28 Oct 07

Are the syores open Sunday morning where you live? In some of the counties where I live ths stores can't open on Sunday until 1:30. We have what is called blue laws. That means that you can't buy or sell any thing but groceries or...

talfonso Oh gosh - my area does, and it's ANNOYING! I go to church using SR 60 (the highway in Brandon) and sometimes I get late there! Why? It's because the mall there (a Westfield, at the intersection of that and I-75) is open. Ditto for most stores that don't fall...

talfonso Sunday shopping can be very useful under the right circumstances. Mostly I do mine for groceries and meds. But keep in mind that there are cons associated with that. I have quite a few people I know (teachers and relative's friend) who live in Bergen County,...

talfonso Ahhh... Easter! Well, I plan to go to Mass that Sunday - you know, commemorate Jesus Christ's resurrection? Back in my youth, I'd join in the fray of an Easter egg hunt. It was really fun searching for motley plastic eggs, then opening it after counting the...

Can you remember what your favourite toy was when you were a child?

Anne18 @Anne18 (11029) 9 Mar 12

I'm nearly 49 and I think my favourite toy when I was a girl was my Tiny Tears doll. I still have her up in the loft, she is vert battered, only has one eye and felt tip pen on her. I had her for my sixth birthday. I also had a...

talfonso Well, any time is when music is so important to me - in fact, I'm a music lover myself! But, and a big BUT, the times when I attend Mass (morning or youth) is when music is at its most potent. Sure, a lot of kids as well as those in young adulthood scoff...

butt pants

Ralphgee @Ralphgee (22) • United States 15 Mar 12

talfonso Blame it on hip-hop and rap music. Have you seen the music videos for those music genres lately? A lot of them are pairing sagging pants with their bling-bling, and that's just part of the problem with those besides those profanity-laced lyrics, scanty clothes...
