Do You Remember The Purple Girl?

…

I do, and please don’t tell her, but she always reminded me of the little girl in Poltergeist. That movie scared everything out of me in the 80’s.

…

The Purple Girl spoke to me. I have always liked grape juice, even as a child. Back home in Austria we had bottles of homemade grape juice -white, purple, and dark red. It made my tongue purple, my lips red and I imagined I was drinking a glass of wine like adults.

Twenty years later, and 5000 miles away from home, I still drank grape juice -still do to this day. As a young adult, I watered it down to 1/4 juice to 3/4 water, I do that with all juices, I like it that way. I didn’t know many typical American brands, so I solely relied on advertisements and because of the blonde girl and her beautiful smile, I always bought Welch’s grape juice.

So many years later, I still remember little Emily Mae, selling us grape juice with her cuteness. She looked like a little girl and sounded so cute when she shared her love for the purple juice with all of us.

…

The perfect little girl, well-behaved, smiling, drinking her juice.

Of course, we knew it was a commercial, but she made it very special. Today in the morning, on my daily quest for a morning laugh, I stumbled across the bloopers of the same commercial, and can I confess one thing, before you watch it, please?

I would have bought the double amount of Welch’s grape juice if they had used the bloopers as TV advertisement.

From cute, to cuter 🙂
