OK, so I'm walking by the women's locker room (it's between the men's locker room and the weight room) yesterday and I notice an ad directly outside of it...
"Bacardi and Diet Coke! 66 calories, 0 sugar! 0 carbs!" With a picture of some fitness models smiling and drinking...
is it just me...or is the gym the wrong place for this ad? now I enjoy drinking...hell, i even like bacardi a lot...but I was a little thrown off by the ads in the gym...
anyone else find this a little inappropriate? :?:
Yeah every company in America is trying to tap into the weight loss market these days. I like the Michelob Light ads with the fitness buffs enjoying a nice cold bottle of beer.
And we thought protein/dextrose was the best concoction for pwo drink...I guess little do we know, hehe.

thats my post workout drink. :D
Yeah cb25,I don't care to see those type of adds at all...........but the liquor and cigarette company's will stoop to any levels to get thier products promoted,they find a grey area..ie:"weakness" and thier in.

i find that a little silly.. i havent seen to many alchohol ads in a gym, and if i did- i would have to laugh
Makes almost as much sense as the candy machine sitting in the lobby of mine!!!
You can't blame a company for trying to market their product to different groups of people. I know that if I was the CEO of a company I would do whatever it took to maximize my profits ( within the law and moral standards of course). Like I'm sure the rest of you do, I don't pay any attention to those type of ads because they are intended for stupid people.
