Dear KitchenAid,

I really want one of your amazing mixers. (**Hint*Hint**). From what I’ve learned from being in the kitchens of those more financially stable than I, you are doing okay. So why, I ask, did the commercial I just saw start out so great and then turn into a freaking infomercial????? There was a phone number suddenly appearing in the bottom for the last half of the commercial and there were promises of extra mixing devices if a purchase was made. Did Ron Popeil produce this spot?!?!

Last time I checked infomercial-style 30- to 60-second advertisements are for products that people probably shouldn’t be inclined to buy – but with the promise of 3 extra free gifts will go ahead and purchase.

PEOPLE WILL BUY A KitchenAid WITHOUT YOU TOSSING OUT EXTRA ATTACHMENTS.

This was such a downgrade! In my mind, the KitchenAid is now on par with Tweeze.

Regretfully,

K
