That's awesome, is it on youtube or something? How did they make a commercial from a tweet?

They were looking for tweets mentioning mac & cheese and then the ones they liked, they'd send you a message letting you know they may make it into a commercial (with your permission). I don't know the whole back story but the deal was that they were making commercials in less than 24 hours inspired by what was being said on Twitter. Mine came out less than 6 hrs after they contacted me about the tweet and it was the only one I saw on Twitter that said it would be aired on TV. Maybe there were others on TV, I don't know, but the other messages they posted just said the commercials were on their FB page.

Here it is:


Silly, but I got a couple new followers on Twitter after it. Coincidence? No clue.

What did your tweet say?

The whole tweet was: "Damnit! Now I want mac & cheese!"

For obvious reasons, they edited it slightly. A few food bloggers and I were talking about mac & cheese at something like 9:30AM. They apparently thought that was the gem of the conversation. :lol:

Getting ready to head down to New Castle, DE. XC60 is getting its 22.5K service today so I have the new S60 T6 as a loaner. Sweet ride. Similar to mine, but with 19 more hp and about 1000lbs lighter.

Wow, your putting some miles on that thing. I just rolled 1800 on the Acura in 6 months!

I had an S60 T6 on Monday as a loaner while my S40 was in for its 30K service. Real nice car...better seats than the S40 (not that I'm complaining) and updated electronics. The T6 engine is a real kick in the pants on this car, bit of turbo lag but once they get spooling then watch out.

It was a good thing they didn't have this car when I was shopping, would have been difficult to pass on it (too expensive).

I also put some miles on my Volvo...average 16-17K/year. The 22 mile commutes add up.

The seats in the S60 are very similar to my XC, but it feels like the headrests are softer in the S60. I find using Tiptronic shifting helps with the turbo lag, which is slightly less in the S60 under normal driving conditions.

Yeah, I can really rack up some miles between work and skiing. I don't mind though.
