Yes susan Kingsmill are using Elvis' image to promote their bread.
i have'nt seen the bread in the shops yet but I have seen it advertised on tv..the guy in the advert is dressed as Elvis BUT he dos'nt look or talk like him..he sounds more like mickey mouse ..& the idea of Elvis being a baker
who is famously known worldwide for his breadmaking? lol
personally i think its stupidwhats Elvis got to do with bread?
Its ok as a bit of fun i guess

Elvis grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
the courage to change the things I can
and the wisdom to know the difference
maybe the KingsMill owner is a big fan of elvis,...well i havent seen anything like that before, but i was pissed when one of my friend name his dog as: Elvis

Have you all had or seen?
Two flavors:
All Shook Up is chocolate ice cream swirled with marshmallow and caramel, with chocolate-covered peanuts.
&
Love Me Tender Brownies is vanilla ice cream with fudge and brownie chunks.
Elvis selling ice cream hardly seems like a wise move by the keepers of the flame...the ever-concerned protectors of the image.
Case in point: When looking for an article on this so I could share it here, the first one I found was called The King Of Junk Food, which made a point to say:
No, they're not stuck (sic) full of barbituates (sic), nor is one peanut butter and banana...though that (sic) I wonder how they resisted.
...you won't forget me when I go.
Kingsmill! He has nothing to do with bread of course, but as the King I guess they thought it would be a fitting name had he started a bakery. I think it's quite nicely done and at least they opted for the young healthy Elvis image. Think of the route they could have taken! An overweight Elvis devouring platefuls of banana and peanut butter sandwiches made with Kingsmill bread would have been predictable. Thankfully they did it in a more positive waypersonally i think its stupid
Hey...i hav'nt seen the loaf one yet...but have you all heard of the Sure ads yet?....they have used several icons, James Dean, Brando to name but two...and the idea is that even the COOL can sweat.
Aol
Ok just seen the ad for AOL in the UK...it seems Elvis is just about everywhere.I am not complaining but we must draw the line somewhere....sweaty armpits :lol
love and peace
