Greek grandmothers of a certain generation were notorious for not understanding the 'modern' American ways of their grandchildren and not mincing words about it...so Kraft Foods tapped into this and created an ad campaign for Athenos brand hummus, feta, etc. that has boosted sales because of the ingenuity of these commercials and even caused a bit of controversy and shocked some Americans!! They are hilarious...

This was the one that did that--Enjoy! grin

If you like them, you will see many more on the youtube page..

To the guys here who may have a particular weakness - be careful not to scroll down too far as there are some other videos there that contain some provocative images. I got caught off guard.

I didn't see anything inappropriate anywhere on those pages. Do you mean the yiayia video about the swimming pool party?

If so, it is really funny--see what she thinks of them!!!

What I saw was a well-endowed news anchorwoman opening her shirt and "lettin it all hang out". Sorry, didn't mean to sound like such a prude. For those of you who aren't tempted by such things, well, good for you! smile

That is wierd, because I looked twice at different times, and I didn't see that!

Unfortunately, on Youtube pages, one never knows what off subject inappropriate video will pop up amongst the other related videos on the right side of the page at any given time. It even happens with religious videos--I have seen videos with hymns to saints, only to glance at the side and see something occultic or otherwise disturbing pop up. It is very unfortunate.

Thanks, Alice, for these videos! They are funny!

Looks like these commercials have been around for while, but this is the first time that I see them.
There is a Youtube channel with all the videos: http://www.youtube.com/user/Athenos/videos

The one video not included among the six listed is Yiayia on Relationships. Blunt, yet funny.
