That muffin bugs me. lilminime
  Jul 25 2008 15:09

You know the muffin mext to the ad for CC mobile?  Well it really bugs me because every time I see it I want to eat a muffin.   let's start a campaign to have it changed to something less tempting. 

What is your vote for?

I vote for Strawberries or and Apple.

Well it appears they did change it...to a hamburger....Come on CC people, stop tempting us.  Put something healthy there.  PLEASE!

#3 bricole Jul 25 2008 15:15

Definitely strawberries!

#4 jess1979 Jul 25 2008 15:18
Gonna admit something here...

I still use cc original so I don't have a picture beside the add... Woohoo!!! 

I can't get into using the new CC plus....

Sorry CC - I still love you though...

The muffin doesn't bug me.  What does bug me though, is right above the muffin, on the site dedicated to healthy weight management, is the 3 links for "Lose 9 lbs in 11 days!!", "I was disgusted by my fat belly...easy weight loss!!", and "Diet miracle!!"

Me either...I like the format of the forums better, it's easier to read.

Toally off the original subject, but it took me a while to change over too.  Once I did though i was OK.  I didn't like it at first, but after the first week I was fine.

I know what you mean about the muffin (apple please!!), but there isn't really much we can do about the ads. Without them, CC possibly wouldn't be free..... and that would be awful!!

 Yeah it's those stupid sponsored links! haha  They are annoying.

I understand that we need the ads to keep CC up and running but it is a CC ad (for CC mobile), so they control what the picture is.

#11 itsbutters Jul 25 2008 16:29

I love the ad's that contradict the very mission of the site. Lose 30lb in two weeks on the ethiopia diet today!

#12 20lbs2bodaciousbride Jul 25 2008 16:55

I totally agree with the original subject of this post... Pleeeeaaaase, CC!!  Stop tempting us with pictures of high calorie foods!!!!

#13 laurensking Jul 25 2008 18:12

The muffin is there to keep us fat.

In turn, we use this website more to lose weight.

And therefore the ad is seen more

The people who do those crazy weight loss programs and promote pills want Americans to remain fat, to ensure business.

*steps off soapbox*

#14 thmheh Jul 25 2008 18:49

Maybe CC thinks it looks like a healthy, very small bran muffin???  Undecided

#15 michaelinitaly Jul 25 2008 21:04

I agree about the ads, if I post how much I lost in what time, some monitor will delete my messages saying I am promoting bad ideas, but it is ok to splash a big ad with much more dramatic weight loss for all to see.

#16 laurensking Jul 25 2008 23:36

Know what bugs me more than THAT muffin?

MY muffin.

ha.
