It is here
I am seriously worried, guys. It's official now. It is here.
They said it on TV. No, they didn't so much say as show it. In the most emphatic and cruel way.
Autumn is here.
No, it's not here the way you all think. The leaves on the trees are still green, thank God.
The very ones I'm showing you here are sparkly green right now.
It's still hot outside and my personal thermometer, the coconut oil I use for cosmetic purposes,🤭 is completely liquid - a sure sign that the temperatures are high, pleasantly high, comfortingly high.
But they said/showed it in a firm way.
It's here. Whether you want it or not. Whether you resist or not... Actually, you can't resist since they've already shown it.
"What exactly did they do?", you might ask.
Well, they changed the ads. That's what they did.
It was precisely on the night of September 2nd/3rd that I noticed this.
I was in the kitchen, cutting plums because I wanted to eat plums right at night, the TV was on behind my back, and then I heard it: Baam!
The first ad for sore throat pills.
Replacing the anti-diarrhea pills ads - the traditional summer ads for my country.
That wasn't enough, this clear threat to the summer, but shortly after that they aired another ad - an ad for anti-stress pills. And that put the final nail in the coffin.
It is now certain. It's official.
There are no ads for sore throat pills in summer. There are also no ads for anti-stress or anti-depressant drugs. No need for that in the summer.
Who suffers from depression in this bright and strong sun? Who has a sore throat? Well, maybe someone with Covid. Covid didn't disappear with a magic wand, you know that. But still, no ads for a sore throat in the summer. Nor for cough or fever syrups.
In my country, in the summer people suffer from diarrhea and vomiting, often caused by visiting the Black Sea coast. (Did I tell you why I can't visit it myself during peak season? 😄)
But that's the end of the anti-diarrhea ads. They are already in the past - until 9 months from now, when again, in the traditional way, they will announce the beginning of summer with their appearance on television.
Eh, I prefer them, to tell you the truth. No matter what. They only lasted 3 months. And this is such an unfair competition - 3 versus 9 months. 🤔

Your "personal thermometer" is brilliant, I love this :D
One could tell so much about the culture and traditions of a nation just by looking at the TV ads :)

You must be killin' it out here!
@lightcaptured just slapped you with 1.000 PIMP, @soulsdetour.
You earned 1.000 PIMP for the strong hand.
They're getting a workout and slapped 1/1 possible people today.

That's the best thermometer ever 😄 It does not indicate the exact degrees, but it indicates the seasons in the most accurate way. Here, for example, at the beginning of June this year, the oil was completely solid. That meant summer hadn't started yet. It's completely liquid right now. Which means summer isn't over. 😃
Unfortunately, you are right about the ads. You can learn a lot about culture, mentality, way of thinking and the whole way of life of a nation from the advertisements that are broadcast on their television...

Came to lodge a formal complaint about clickbait, remained for images of decaying tree.
Ha ha, why do you see it as clickbait? 😄 This is serious. I'm really worried. There's no sign of summer leaving outside, if it weren't for those damn ads 🤔😁
P.S. Those images are of autumn leaves in the real autumn, not in this TV created autumn right now.
So dramatic. Summer will return with a vengeance next year.
Yes, but after 9 whole months. 😭 It is not easy to wait for such a long time. And that's every year. 😪
Personally i believe September is the ideal month to enjoy the sea! The perfect balance between the temperature in and out sea, not so crowded and even the cost for vacation is cheaper!
Ps: Share with us more of your secrets? 😜
September sounds perfect for Greece, as it is quite a warm country. But I'm not sure about the Black Sea. Last year I was there in October and I already had to put on the winter jacket 😄
What secrets are you referring to? 🤔😁
Like coconut oil
Ha ha, ok.
I've never been particularly interested in ads in my country or maybe they just don't really matter as I rarely watch TV, too. But really interesting to come across this. 🤔
As said above, ads reflect the culture, mentality and lifestyle of a nation. I can assume that in some Western countries pill advertising is banned. But because the health system in my country does not work well, people are encouraged to self-medicate and are therefore bombarded with drug advertisements from the TV screen.
I started watching more TV since 2020, and sometimes that's what is needed to orient a person how far a nation has come in its development or degradation.
