Butterfinger

Cooking doesn't have to be complicated. We stumbled on a /r/AskReddit thread that asked the genius question: What is the best recipe you know that uses 5 ingredients or less? Inspired, we put together a list of the five best suggestions and ranked them in order of ingredients. Keep scrolling down to see the super easy courses that we're going to try for ourselves this weekend. "GREAT BREAKFAST": 4 Ingredients 1 bread slice Egg Bacon Cheese (grated) Grease a muffin tray, and line each hole with a piece of bread. Crack an egg into it, add some bacon and cheese, and put it in the oven until the egg is cooked. (via Pianoangel420 on /r/AskReddit) "Butterfinger Pie": 4 Ingredients Brick of cream cheese (room temperature) 12 oz tub of Cool Whip 6 standard Butterfinger bars, crushed Graham cracker pie crust Mix first three ingredients together, reserving one crushed candy bar to sprinkle on top of the pie. Put mixture in crust and chill for a few hours. (via randomfemale on /r/Cooking) "Best Tomato Sauce EVER": 3 Ingredients 28 ounces whole peeled tomatoes from a can (San Marzano, if you can find them) 5 tablespoons unsalted butter 1 medium-sized yellow onion, peeled and halved Put all ingredients in a heavy saucepan over medium heat. Bring the sauce to a simmer then lower the heat to keep the sauce at a slow, steady simmer for about 45 minutes, or until droplets of fat float free of the tomatoes. Stir occasionally, crushing the tomatoes against the side of the pot with a wooden spoon. Remove from heat, discard the onion, and keep warm while you prepare your pasta. Serve with spaghetti, with or without grated Parmesan cheese. (submitted via SmittenKitchen.com) "Amazing Pizza Dough": 2 Ingredients 1 1/2 cup of self-rising flour 1 cup of natural Greek yogurt Mix together, put on a pizza tin, and cook at 400 degrees for 35 minutes or until golden brown. You can also add olive oil and spices on top before cooking. (via miraclerandy on /r/AskReddit) "Ice Cream Strawberry Bread": 2 Ingredients 3 cups melted strawberry ice cream 2 1/4 cups self-rising flour Combine ingredients and pour into greased bread pan. Bake in oven for about 60 minutes at 350 degrees.

It’s hard to pinpoint exactly what makes a commercial great, but like a Supreme Court justice once said in a slightly different context, you know it when you see it. Ostensibly a commercial should make you want to go out and immediately buy the product, but it also should evoke some emotion, most likely happiness or nostalgia. But the combination of a good product, a catchphrase, a joke, and a jingle does not always a good commercial make.There’s really no formula. Ad agencies slave away for years to create the perfect commercial, and when it hits it enters the cultural zeitgeist and is remembered for years to come. Click To See The Classic Ads > More so than just about any other category, food commercials really have the ability to make us go out and buy something.RELATED: The Ultimate Barbecue Sauce Taste-Test When we see a car commercial, we’re not going to go buy the car just because it was shiny. We’re not in the market for a car, but we’re always in the market for food. Maybe that’s why TV ads for food products tend to be some of the most successful of all time: they’re meant for everyone, not just a select segment of the population. We’ve already tackled the most memorable fast-food commercials of all-time (time to make the donuts, anyone?), but there are a lot more food-related commercials out there. In assembling our list of the most iconic food product commercials of all time, we stuck with foods that are sold in supermarkets (drinks not included, sorry Budweiser frogs and "Got Milk?" guy). The main criterion was that these commercials needed to strike a cultural nerve. If you were alive and cognizant when these commercials hit the airwaves, you most likely remember them. The iconic ones entered the cultural conversation. The most iconic ones are still in the cultural conversation, sometimes up to decades later. And these are primarily one-off commercials, not entire campaigns based around, say, Bill Cosby selling Jell-O pudding (do any of those individual commercials really stand out?). This kind of staying power doesn’t come easy, and these are the kinds of ads that agencies wish they thought of more frequently.

Ann Miller was renowned for her dancing prowess decades before Heinz tapped her in 1970 for the lead role in what was, at the time, one of the most expensive spots in history. This madcap commercial, written and directed by Stan Freberg and choreographed by Hermes Pan, centered around Miller, 21 chorus girls, a 24-piece orchestra, and 4,000 fountains. The punch line: "Emily, why do you have to make such a big production out of everything?" 10) Mentos' campy commercial would later spawn parodies. Mentos: The Freshmaker! Campiness was the key to success for this series of commercials for the chewy oblate spheroid that launched in 1991. In these spots, people facing everyday dilemmas would eat Mentos and spontaneously come up with a creative and funny way to solve their problem, backed up by a ridiculous jingle. In the first ad, which is perhaps the one that’s best remembered, a woman’s high heel tears her dress as she’s getting out of a car to attend a gala of some sort. She pops a Mento and is inspired to rip the entire bottom portion of the dress off. Problem solved! We can also be thankful that the campaign gave us this amazing Breaking Bad parody. 9) Butterfinger's brand got a boost from Bart and Homer Simpson. When The Simpsons are licensed to help sell your product, you better make the most of it. From 1988 to 2001, Butterfinger did just that. In the ads, Bart is usually about to enjoy a crispety, crunchety, peanut-buttery Butterfinger when someone, usually Homer, tries to take it from him. Via some cle

In the annals of advertising, there are some songs we just keep coming back to. "Baby Got Back" is one of them. From hawking Burger King's SpongeBob meal to bustin' out the D-grade talent for Butterfinger, Sir Mix-a-Lot's timeless 1992 ode to
