Has any one else noticed a recent trend where corporations use packaging or other locations for unusual humor? This certainly seems like a new idea in advertising, if not for products then for instilling good will towards a faceless conglomerate. Some examples I saw yesterday:

Everybody knows turkey is delicious and good for you. But who knew it was this easy? Well, we did. That's why we made SPAM Singles. It's made with 100% white, lean turkey in an easy to open pouch that makes "easy as pie" sound like a dirty lie. Because pie is not easy! Unless you make a pie from SPAM Singles. It could work, maybe. But don't reach for the stars so fast! Make a sandwich of something first. This is the meaning of SPAM Singles.

PULL
You can have it your way and push if you want, but this door is pretty stubborn.

Didn't find the SPAM one funny tbh, got a cheap giggle out of the Burger kind one, though.

I've always liked the shit they put on Budget Rent-a-trucks.

Not gut busting funny, but enough of a personality to make me like Budet over, say, Penske.
