40 years after peddling California Raisins, Molly Ringwald will be doing a Super Bowl commercial promoting Mexican Avocados.

Oh wow!
A "Facts of Life" girl in a Super Bowl commercial! A Lost Girl during the Super Bowl! Holy cow! ![]() I wonder if Molly Parker developed a taste for Mexican avocados because of "Señor Tiger" sitting in their dorm rooms wearing that Mexican sombrero? ![]() I might try an avocado just because "our Molly" likes them!

![]() She says in the article that she wouldn't do a John-Hughes-film-inspired commercial, which makes me think she definitely wouldn't do a FOL-inspired take on an avocado commercial, but that's exactly what I'd love to see. Something along the lines of, "As a feminist and Eastland alumnus, I eat Mexican avocados because they're the tastiest of fruits... even more tasty than California raisins!" ![]() Quote:
...where's the avocado emoji when you need it? |

But I would LOVE to honor Lost Girls too---at least I'm "okay" with raisins! ![]() Right here!

Probably not the best campaign slogan...

I'm on board with either one of those!But I have another suggestion: "These Mexican avocados are tres magnifique!" ...or, alternately: "I enjoy eating Mexican avocados whenever I'm at this dump of a school, Eastland!" ![]() Quote:
I absolutely love guacamole, and it's so popular as a party dip. Neither avocados nor guac were available when I was a little kid living in the Midwest, but that changed when I was 12. And avocados are very popular, here, on salads. I can definitely recommend guacamole, the "holiest" of party dips. Maybe for Super Bowl Sunday, you can try some fresh guac, in honor of Molly and her new commercial! Quote:

![]() It just is! lol. I'm afraid I wouldn't like avocados or guacamole. But if Molly gave me some to try, I would!Would you believe there was a Muppet avocado? It even has its own Muppet Wiki page! As Tootie would say, "Did I lie??" - |

Well, I wouldn't say Spanish, actually, since they're Mexican. That'd be like calling us British!

Most of the younger audience will probably recognize Molly as Archie's mom on Riverside than anything from her John Hughes movies, let alone the FOL.
