The above photo is a picture of a bag of "Scoops" snacks from the Frito Lay® corporation. It was sent in by a Sadvertising reader (release on file).
Let's just let it out; some lucky - damn lucky - soul out there is going to be a MINOR LEAGUE BASEBALL GENERAL MANAGER for a whole WEEKEND!
Can you imagine!? The winner might get to negotiate with foodservice vendors, walk around the empty locker room (when no one's even there!) and order extra business cards!
"Mommy? Who's that mysterious man who just told that custodian to pick up the candy wrapper?"
"Hush child. That's the GM!"
I know the rejoinder I'm using at the dinner table tonight - "No we're not going to Mall! What do you think I am!? A MINOR LEAGUE GENERAL MANAGER?!"
Frito Lay® could have gone the extra light-year and offered the winner a shot at the MAJOR league spot, but in this economy, I reckon it's tough to budget for Tupperware bowls full of coke, private jets and stripper-fueled weekends at away-games.
I will tell ya this, though. When Target® offers the chance to be an Assistant Health & Beauty Manager for a Monday, I'm going to score AXE samples for all my friends. Every one!
And maybe some cadmium-free jewelry for the little lady waitin' back home. Yes-sir.
