Before I was done, I felt guilty for laughing!! I wouldn't have assumed that whoever wrote the ad assumed that everyone knew what it meant. I would have assumed that the writer of the ad didn't have an education. Kinda like the ads I see at convenience stores across Texas that say "Eat and Get Gas." <em> Shelly, you are so funny! That is what makes you the story teller - and not me! I probably would have never gotten the connection to eating and getting gas from the food had you not "put it in my head".
