Does this make anyone else grind their teeth and shake their fists at the tv?
A woman is blithely going about her day at a fruit market, when two plastically chipper women appear out of nowhere. "That's a nice white shirt!" they chirp, lunging at her with mushy fruit, which they smear triumphantly onto her clean blouse.
My split second reaction to the commercial up until this point was, "wait--is this one of those celebrity pieings?" But no, Sandy is not a celebrity. She's just a nice lady who got up that morning, picked out a nice white blouse, thinking, "that'll look pretty," and went about her day, never expecting to be physically assaulted by fruit wielding yobs at the market.
Moving on. After mashing strawberries and whatnot into poor shocked Sandy's shirt, the robotically gleeful women demand, "How are you gonna get this stain out?? How about this one?"

Cut to the smug fruit assailants applying some kind of stain remover to Sandy's shirt, as she cowers, shivering, in an awful t-shirt advertising the very product that has hijacked her day and will doubtless cause nightmares and teary therapy sessions for years to come. The humiliation!
I'm sure they carefully edited out the tape of the women handing Sandy the t-shirt and growling, "Oh you WILL be excited about our product. You'll be thrilled about our freaking product. Show it! MORE!!!"
Sandy clearly lacks self esteem and confidence, because, instead of clocking the women in the face with her purse and roaring, "What the hell, you asshats??!!!" she actually plays along. "Oh! That's...great!" she offers, as her shirt finally comes out of the dryer, 45 minutes after she should have been picking her son up from soccer practice.
The two women laugh, wild-eyed, and declare that their product is the best. I can imagine Sandy slinking off, humiliated, to cry in her car for a few hours before slowly driving home.
