Can you believe it?

advertising award in the city.

Did we earn it?

No, but we gotta

furniture stores.

- Yeah, and we won't.

In the past month,

about that one.

our best pitch in months, man.

- Open on an elementary school
cafeteria.

It's lunch time,
and fifth graders are doing

what fifth graders do.

- Yeah, yeah, yeah,
"I'll trade you my apple

for your carrot sticks."

- "Oh, I'll trade you
my bologna sandwich

for your PB&J."

Then the kids pulls out a bag
of Better Made Potato Chips.

- A silence falls over
the room.

We see the principal walking
towards the boy.

- Then cut to--we see
the kid driving away

in a brand new Cadillac.

- As the principal eats
the kid's Better Made Chips.

- Better Made Chips:
the ultimate bargaining chip.

Very nice.

It's just not the direction
we wanna go into right now.

- [chuckles]
Uh, really? A no?

We just gave you
a slam dunk pitch

followed by a homerun tagline.

- It was very nice.
- Aw, yeah,

but it's not the direction
you wanna go in.

You want something
a little edgier.

- Yeah, maybe something like,
"Better Made Potato Chips,

we're missing out
on a good thing here."

- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Or "Better Made Chips:
go fuck yourself."

- Well, very funny joke, Tim.
- No.
