One of the items I left out of my top ten reasons to shop at dollar tree was their bug spray. Drop
Dead bug spray is not, as it's name would imply, meant to actually
kill bugs. It just kinds of stuns them long enough, for you to get
them with a fly swatter.
After spraying a bug and watching it
fly around the room for the next ten minutes, as if it were stumbling
home from a kegger, I always envision the advertisement for this
stuff. Our competitors may kill them dead but we just get them high
enough for you to actually finish them off. The scene would have a
bunch of cartoon bugs sitting around a basement saying, 'Who brought
the Drop Dead, now the party can really start.”. The bugs would
then philosophize about flying and stare at the pretty colors of the
flowers. The commercial ends with a flyswatter crashing down on one
of the bugs and the rest of them laughing hysterically, “Dude, that
is so gonna hurt in the morning.”.
