 Topic: Is it just me....

Or is anyone else annoyed by the blatant waste of food in the new New World ads? I know it's nit picky, but isn't it a bit insensitive when food prices are higher now than they've been in ages?
Rant over lol.

I don't like the add at all! It annoys me. I think you've hit the nail on the head, why must they play with food?

um, no, its just an ad 
I know our New world donates heaps and heaps of stuff to charity organisiations, food bank, johns kitchen etc and always comes to the party for local groups in need of a sossie to sizzle or stuff.

i think its a silly ad - but half of it is probably not real anyway... the one that annoys me is the silly countdown one with that family - they are so australian!

My 6 year old loves that ad.
I think it's very clever & nope, not put that much thought into it.

I think it's pretty clever and well done - someone's been thinking outside the box.
If you get annoyed at the food wastage on that ad, what about all the other food ads? None of the food actually gets EATEN, you realise? Vogels, the microwave rice, Maccas, BK.... I also think that if your kids are going hungry than there's more of a problem than just what food is being "wasted" on TV, because that minute amount (compared to what is put out on the shelves) is unlikely to impact on the actual price of the food.

It annoys me, but not as much as those terrible countdown ads with the mother and daughter buying deodorant and hair dye. They are sooo bad I have to turn over.

Completely agree with you Kate!!!
I actually think that ad is really well done, what a great idea, it's completely different to anything out there... well done to the ad agency!
After all it's only an ad, it's not like its real or anything.

Funny thing, all the people in the ad are workers for New Worlds around NZ.

OMG that ad is brilliant!!! Lol well done for thinking outside the square New World!!!
For the amount of food wasted in there.... Well I don't think its a concern...
And if your going soo hungry watching it-erm, why are you watching tv if your family is starving to death? Sell your TV! Or go see WINZ they hand out food vouchers

What an amazing ad! Love it!
Yeah it's a lot of food wasted but it's a great ad so meh... Don't think it's insensitive at all! If you find food prices from supermarkets too high then buy in bulk or buy your fruit and veges from markets or better still GROW YOUR OWN!

haha Kelly.... I'll put my hand up too! lol
The new world ad bugs me. I just don't see the point of it. Yea so it's clever but it's just dumb.
The countdown ads are more annoying...... like Hila1 said - the one with the mother and daughter buying hair dye etc. And omg Richard Till's voice drives me mental 'shop smarter new zealand'. I turn over every time one of his ads come on. He really grates mev
