Remember the days of only Nutrigram as the 'healthy' bar??? Well, those are long gone!

Nowadays all bars have fiber, and taste, so what differentiates each brand?? The picture shows is a great example of what can happen when your main POD is one that can be imitated and taken up a notch

F1 was the first fiber bar with taste... Now Kelloggs is claiming same amount of fiber and tastier than F1...

So the question becomes, how should F1 counter attack?

Is this not a bit too intrusive?!

I know that good marketing is supposed to catch you a bit off guard and make you think about the message but this is just too much... Why? Because, 1) although it in fact was unexpected, it crossed the privacy line (which by today's standards is pretty low). 2) it's not creative, and 3) lacks authenticity... Which is the last thing you want if you deal with money. Thought?!

With that said, and given my inquisitive nature, I began asking people if they would buy the Yoplait Greek.

During a recession, where are the consumers' priorities placed?

Picture this... Tuesday 11:30pm at Wal-Mart and you are heading to the cashier to pay for your hypoallergenic laundry detergent. Given the time of the day, you only have a certain amount of lanes to pay. You look at your basket and see that you only have 8 items, so you decide to go the "express 20 items or less lane." Now that you have pictured what was going on, let me tell you what happened.... I approached the line and there were only three people in front of me so I thought "awesome, I will be out of here really soon." Needless to say, I was there for much more than the five minutes I was expecting. By this point you are probably wondering, what does that title have to do with all this?? Well the lady that was in front of me, which was in her early 60s was the one that was holding the line. She was in an electronic wheelchair and had a about 5 items as well. Her intro line to the cashier was "I don't know if I have enough money, but.. I guess we will f...
