The Adcracker


Recommended Posts

Ok, I know it's no longer Silly Season, but I was inspired by Mel's most recent post in the Nutcracker thread. Remembering that the original Chinese Tea dance had a Phoo dog that said "Ty-phoo!" for Ty-phoo tea, what modern commercial brands could be featured in the Act II divertissements? You may change the countries that the various goodies are from--I'm pretty sure Folger's doesn't come from Arabia, especially considering that there isn't really a country called Arabia anymore, although there is a Republic of Tea. :wink:

Great idea, Hans. The sponsorship opportunities are so numerous that I'm amazed ballet companies haven't thought of it and turned it into another "holiday tradition."

Searching for old Nutcracker threads for the new sub-forum, I've found some great ones. This one is HILARIOUS!!
