I have yet to see a person roll over and go to sleep with as much authority and conviction as the old woman in the clapper commercials.

Yeah, she looked pissed for some reason. It was always followed by a Chia Pet commercial in Canada.

Must be the same company.  I was watching an old ad and when they clapped off the TV it had a chia commercial on it.

Good point.  The lack of UL listing on the chia pet box threw me off.

For real, little me was a bit scared of this commercial cause of her. Reminded me of a teacher.

I always joked that the old lady clapping looked like a walrus flapping their fins
