Can’t say goodbye to Delhi
Memo to Coles: The Commonwealth Games ended nearly a week ago. It may be time to stop airing the Curtis Stone Commonwealth Games ads now.

…and it may also be time to take down all the Indian themed in-store POS items.
After all, isn’t it way past the usual date they usually like to start promoting Xmas??

Anyone actually tried to eat one of those meals for a family for under $10? What’s for main course?

Re: It may be time to stop airing the Curtis Stone Commonwealth Games ads now” : .It’s like saying please stop eating curry as the games in Delhi are over….and wonder why we refer to these as CWG ads anyway ??? all Curtis is saying is “you can feed a family of four for under $10” I believe this basic theme has been there for years … it’s Indian inspired now. Coles shd take off the ads, only if the products (the ones in the ads) are NOT selling well…!!

Hi SK,
No, all Curtis is actually saying in the script is “To celebrate the Commonwealth games…”

I HATE the Curtis Stone Coles campaign immensely!
Nothing like shopping in Coles for an hour plus having to hear the Coles (Indian re-mixed) theme over and over and over….
Or Curtis Stone over the PA at Coles and on TV telling everyone how to make a meal for under $10 over and over and over…..I will give Curtis Stone $10 to shut up.
Curtis Stone and Coles can celebrate the Commonwealth Games all they want but stop making the public suffer!
Oh and it’s the 29th of October and yes they are STILL celebrating…….
