Even when channel surfing past AGTamp160last week stopping only to see if the act of the moment was one I might be interested in watching as surprisingly after 10 seasons many of them are I immediately took note of the tall glowing objects perched atop the judgesamp8217 table one for each judge Howard Stern Heidi Klum Mel B and Howie Mandel easily the most entertaining group of judges on any reality program currently on televisionIt took about a halfsecond for me to realize that the glowing objects were cups positioned as many a cup has been on other competition series including Fox39s American Idolamp160promoting CocaCola and The X Factoramp160promoting Pepsi amp160But at first I didnamp8217t recognize the color scheme which appeared to be brilliant orange with a touch of pink from certain angles amp160So of course I stopped right there and watched until I could get a good look Interestingly the cups stand out even when shown from behind the judgesamp8217 table while crazy acts like this one are commanding attention from people in the theater audience and at homeSomething about the strange glowing orange cups commanded my attention more than the red Coke cups or the blue Pepsi cups ever did on Idolamp160and Factoramp160respectively or the yellow Snapple cups seen last summer on AGTamp160amp160Regardless there is no denying the effectiveness of all of those beverage holders positioned in prime primetime real estateEven if I hadnamp8217t been able to identify the eyecatching cups as promotional objectsamp160for Dunkin39 Donutsamp160since the only cups I know from DD stores are either white Styrofoam for hot coffee or clear plastic for cold drinks it would have been obvious to me before long because the show more than onceamp160cut to a room off stage that appearedamp160to be a lounge for the judges and there were boxes of Dunkinamp8217 Donuts positioned all over the place amp8211 enough to bring about cravings in a hungry viewer except who eats donuts at night right amp160Maybe the Todayamp160show ought to do the same thingThe AGTDunkinamp8217 Donuts relationship went into orbit when Klum gently touchedamp160the donuts on display lovingly talking about how much she enjoys them amp160Are we to believe that the glamourthin Ms Klum actually eats donuts In fact she stated that she likes the creamfilled ones the best amp160Does watching Klum touch and bite and delight in donuts plant a productpositive image in the minds of impressionable young viewers amp160You betcha amp160Foramp160the record there are alsoamp160traditional commercials for Dunkin39 Donuts scattered throughout the showWith all that donut love and all those glowing cups thoughts of Dunkinamp8217 Donuts canamp8217t help but float throughout AGTamp160despite distractions like thisAnd thisAnd thisAnd thisAnd so it is that every week on this show two messages come through loud and clear America does indeed have talent and AGTamp160does indeed run on DunkinClick the social buttons above or below to share this content with your friends and colleaguesThe opinions and points of view expressed in this content are exclusively the views of the author andor subjects and do not necessarily represent the views of MediaVillagecomMyersBizNet Inc management or associated writersamp160
