Train Advertisements

This week, all of the boring healthcare ads on the train changed out in favor of ads for... pistachios?

It seems funny that something like pistachios, which have been around and enjoyed for longer than I've been alive, need advertising.


Is the kooky cartoon designed to get kids hooked on pistachios? Or do pistachio growers/distributors just want to say, "Hey, remember pistachios? It's probably been a while since you had them. Maybe you should buy some."

I'd love to see a study of whether or not ads for pistachios increase pistachio consumption.
