Who reads advertising?

hey now.

i keep a back-log of numerous magazines at home.
I've got every issue of the Dining mag since Spring 2004, and i think I've looked at some of the same ads over and over and over.
It can get tiresome.



I have the past 5 years of Food Arts, Sante, and most issues of Pastry Art and Design and most hold the same truth... the ads more or less stay the same for a year or so.

Sante always has a huge section in the middle on thicker paper that's some ad-feature on something.
it makes it a pain in the ass to turn the pages since (as intended) it forces itself to open to the middle.




The ironic thing is...
with all these back issues of the Dining mag, i still haven't subscribed.
I guess i enjoy being surprised at finding it on a bookstore shelf, or finding a stack of them showing up at work.

Mostly I was just teasing you, Ethan. A sense of humor is not required to hang around here, but it doesn't hurt.

Love it or hate it, though, advertising pays the freight for most media, and if you support locally owned and operated media, it's a nice thing to check who advertises to the publications you like and make it a point to support those advertisers.

Hey, i wasn't knocking the advertising dollars... believe me, i know their place.
and more often than not, find myself looking into products i wouldn't have known about otherwise, had i not seen an ad.

and yes, i was aware you were teasing.

I almost included something about "You'll find me in the Red Room drinking a craft beer."

Okay, cool. If you don't mind, then, I'll later split this digression off to the off-topic forum so we can keep this one open for comments on the new Food & Dining digital edition. I hope more folks will chime in!

First, though, I'm off to Heine Bros' for a fine artisanal espresso drink from a locally owned and operated business ...

Sounds good to me... I'm off to work to figure out tasty ways to mess with peoples heads/palates (I'm only halfway kidding)
