The Publix Sunday Dinner Commercial – Rice, Beans, and a Left-Handed Cook

Walking in the front door, it was the scent of roast, potatoes, and carrots that wafted through the house that had become one of my favorite aromas. This was the family tradition for my entire childhood every Sunday. Church. Roast. Miami Dolphins football. I’ll never be able to disassociate that scent with that memory. Publix captures that idea in one of their recent commercials they’re calling “Sunday Dinner,” which if you’re in the south means lunch. Here’s how it breaks down:

Dinner = Lunch.

Supper = Dinner.

Take a look at the sweet ad then scroll down for more info…


The narrator of the story (the guy cooking rice and beans) is left-handed, proven when he is writing the recipe in the ad.


But there’s something peculiar about this south paw. He writes with his left hand AND wears his watch on his left wrist. This is very uncommon (see: How to tell if someone is left-handed)! Take a look at people around you to notice that most righties wear their watch on the left wrist, left-handed people wear it on the right. For the guy in the ad, this anomaly is probably because he has a beaded bracelet on his right wrist and wearing the watch there too will be too cumbersome or bulky. But there is NO WAY wearing a watch on the wrist you’re writing with is comfortable! Unless this guy knows something I don’t (I’m a lefty).
