Avocados from Mexico usually has one of the better Super Bowl ads. Nudity, or as much as American broadcast television will allow, and how avocadoes make everything better, were the themes of the Super Bowl LVII ad.
Anna Faris as Eve was pretty funny. Not much room for acting in Super Bowl ads.
Avocadoes are the only substantial food on Super Bowl ads. Most foods advertised on television aren't high in quality from a nutrition perspective. The ratio feels like 50 million: 1 with questionable food than real food.
Eric Zorn was a long-time Chicago Tribune columnist. We love avocadoes but is the original destination that important?
When your humble narrator goes to the farmers market, the original destination for fruit is crucial but vegetables, not so much.
Years ago, a local store carried garlic from China. Didn't buy that garlic.
I've bought local Haas avocadoes in farmers markets in San Francisco and Los Angeles. Sadly, I have not bought an avocado from Mexico in Mexico.
I'm willing to eat any avocado from California or Mexico as long as the avocado is good and not insanely expensive. My loyalty is to good avocadoes from this continent.
Also, to Zorn's point, the plural of avocado is avocadoes, not avocados.
Hellmann's was back with leftovers, attacking potential food waste with mayonnaise. Brie Larson (brie cheese) and Jon Hamm (ham) are in a refrigerator with a large Hellman's jar. The play is on their food names.
Hellman's, also know as Best Foods in the western U.S., has been good on the whole food waste issue, even to promote its product. The whole Brie-Hamm combo was fun in a sea of questionable Super Bowl ads.
Full disclosure: I did have a ham sandwich before the commercial aired. Used mustard but not mayonnaise.
