GE one second theater

[Quasmo]

So I was watching Scrubs, and it goes to commercial, and as I sit there watching a GE commercial plays and at the very end of it I see a bunch of flashing pics, and think to myself, "What the hell was that?" So I rewind and pause on my DVR and sure enough it is the story of "The ugly princess and the frog" I come to find out that there is a whole story in 30 frames. I google to find the whole story and found it on GE's website.

Hmm. Commercials that are only for those who want to watch them. I wonder if it will last....

they've had these for at least a year, maybe longer.

Coke had one where they flashed up the formula in a few frames. Probably wasn't the real thing though.

That formula is worth more than Fort knox. I heard a story from a relative one time that I would certainly call credible.

She and another forensics detective were given a tour of the innards of Coke's factory during an investigation for something. Her partner was a Chemist and the folks at Coke did not know that.

During the debriefing at the Coke plant her partner mentioned in passing " I was totally unaware that Coke had XXXXXX and XXXXXX. That would explain why the XXXXXX happens.

Needless to say, later that day the officer was given a job opportunity for a ridicuous amount of money.

He did decline the job and signed many a NDA to not disclose the ingredients he had seen that day inside the facility.
