Cascade’s current Tug Of War commercial
irritates the hell out of me.
In this commercial,
the male insists
muffin tins don’t have to be pre-scrubbed.
The female insists
they do.
A kitchen counselor arrives to determine
who is right.
Who cares?
The person who is right
isn’t always the person
who should win the argument.
For the time cost of pre-scrubbing a tin
(which would have taken
less time than their argument),
he proved he was right
but he also risked his relationship.
Unless he foresees daily muffin tin washing
or he doesn’t care about the relationship,
the price of being right seems way too high.
And in an argument,
there is ALWAYS a price to being right.
Make certain the rewards are worth that price.
