The Daisy Sour Cream Commercial – Was That A Strawberry!?

In an advertising era where brand jingles are few and far between, Daisy says, “Here, hold my sour cream!” and then they whip out this gem. Check out a recent Daisy sour cream commercial (not quite as catchy as their cottage cheese jingle) then scroll down for more thoughts…

Strawberry madness! It’s not that the actress eating the strawberry looks uncomfortable (she does), ruffling feathers all over the universe is the fact that she’s dipping a strawberry, of all things, into sour cream. Is this a southern thing? A yankee thing? Who does that!? Spaghetti makes sense. Chili? Sure. Tacos, of course. But a strawberry? Those leaving comments about the ad aren’t sold on the idea.

How much is a dollop anyway? According to Merriam-Webster, a dollop is “a lump or glob of something soft or mushy.” AI says the quantity is around a tablespoon while websites generally agree whether it’s a little less or a heaping tablespoon. It reminds me of a phrase one of my grade school teachers used often, and I’m remembering it most clearly having to do with how much glue we were to use. She’d say, “A little dab’ll do ya.” In that case, a dollop would be way too much because a dab is just a pinch or drop or smidgen.

Small amounts. Unless you like whatever it is you’re measuring. Then, I suppose, you can do a double dollop of Daisy. Speaking of jingles, there’s an on-going commercial catchphrase/jingle you might remember from your childhood, or your parents might remember from THEIR childhood. Does this commercial campaign ring a bell?
