That Pecan Noodle Ring reminds me of my mother's Kugel. Fights have been started over it.

I used to buy advertising for national companies for local markets and I find it hard to believe that they are getting that good of a deal buying nationally. It certainly is easier to buy nationally and they certainly get some hype for people on road trips passing a Sonic. But advertising is EXPENSIVE, especially when when are reaching people who aren't even able to use your product. And buying the absolute cheapest schedule is not always cost effective anyway.

Of course, without seeing the numbers, it's hard to say what kind of deal they are getting by buying nationally. But considering that hardly anybody buys ads this way (even national brands tend to buy a lot of local advertising), I'm really surprised.
