Jersey has stupid local commercials, but they're more tragic than funny. So I'll just go with a personal favorite...

I noticed you guys also pronounce 'pasta' differently from your commercials. The KFC commercial you guys had a few years ago w/ the Indian family who just immigrated & their son joining a hockey team w/ the kids making him feel welcome by taking him to KFC almost made me cry.

SHIIIIIT, I remember almost flying off the roller slide they had there when I was visiting family in Edison. They didn't call that place Class Action Park for nothing.

Now this is a Pisces fantasy; chiropractic care, and hopefully a detailed deep tissue massage afterwards.

Is it really a Pisces thing? My moon's in Pisces, that probably explains why I have a couple chiropractic videos in my ASMR playlist.
