I voted sometimes....the granola type bars. I look at the ingredients & if they mention palm oil, I get turned off.

The majority of them are tempting, but I very seldom follow through. I'm so bad my mouth will just start watering. The worst ones are the ones with sweet goodies in them. They have been beckoning since my diabetes diagnosis. I used to have to change channels, but now I just tell DH I'll have to take a bite of his the next time he gets it, or I will make a version, I can have.

Restaurant commercials don't bother me at all, unless it's for seafood. I love seafood! If I get too bothered by one, I just plan a meal in the next day or two and that's that. Once in a while a commercial featuring steak will hit me between the eyes. I can control a few of those in a row before I have to take action. DH is liable to react to that before me.

I don't get tempted by commercials because i never watch them. I either flip to another station or push mute and do something else for a couple minutes.


Now when i go to the grocery store i get very tempted.

On yes I do that Hugs. They advertised the Mayonnaise with olive oil and I saw it on the store shelf and decided to try it.


Have you seen it or tried it yet?
