Bust a Nut
It looks as if I owe the Corn Nuts advertising executives an apology. I was under the impression that they were unaware of the familiar meaning of the phrase “bust a nut”, and had unwittingly chosen this phrase as a slogan in a phenomenally stupid blunder. As it turns out, the Corn Nuts advertising team is well aware of the meaning of the phrase, as evidenced by this clever radio jingle.

Go to your room and lock the door, Bust a nut! Bust a nut! Everybody does it, they like it a lot, “Corn Nuts™: An intensely crunchy corn snack. |

I can only imagine what would happen if they went with the “play with your food” route in their advertising campaign

I LOVED that commercial…was sad when they stopped playing it. Maybe they’ll be able to bring it back someday.
