Tabasco sauce makes your pizza really sing
Apparently, I've never tried Tabasco on pizza, because I'm pretty sure I'd remember if small faces had erupted from the pepperoni and started singing like a barbershop quartet. That's what happens in this bizarre spot from TracyLocke in Dallas. The guys call themselves the Pepperonis, and they're heating up just as the weather cools down. Over at the Web site, you can even download MP3s of the group harmonizing on some reworked holiday classics. It's nice to see Tabasco getting quirky and pushing the "So much more than hot" theme, especially since you can find about 100 spicier sauces at the store. But there's something undeniably creepy about the commercial. Maybe it's the subtle mix of flavors, like a hint of Naked Lunch with a dash of Nightmare on Elm Street. Or maybe it's that the Pepperonis look just like the swollen lesion from this Australian cancer PSA. —Posted by David Griner Previously on AdFreak: |

Gives a new meaning to "pizza face". Not sure how they figured this would be appetizing.

Read a short article in the neighbor's Reader's Digest for this month about military MRE meals that included Tobasco sauce in a small glass bottle, had to use glass because it ate through every other container they tried.
For me, Tobasco is not hot enough and tastes of mostly vinegar.
By the way, I really dislike barbershop quartet singing. Its the same as the recording equipment now that would make a dog sound good.

When I saw this ad, I was like :O for a good minute. It was like, I was disgusted by it but was thinking, "Really you've seen so many horror films, and this disturbs you?" it does though. It just, creeps me out, seriously.

kids, if you eat greasy pizza with hot sauce, this is what your face's gonna look like. whoever made and approved this awful ad and thought this was clever clearly never had an acne outbreak.

Pepperonis make you have heartburn, why not add hot sauce to set your rectum on fire?
