    Chad Barrett is all like, "Fuck ya"

    Nana is all like, "Well I better put something on my face or they won't let me do these for cash...seriously though, Orange slices?"

    Frei sure as shit ain't staring at the oranges...watch out Chad.

    Cronin's trying hard not to laugh and has his faced turned from the camera...

    Classic.

    Am I the only one here not upset about this? Come on people. Our players are paid under a salary cap. Kids like Nana make squat. If they can make some extra dough over and above what they make in salary I am all for it.

    And as Canada's media capital if players see that they can make potentially some extra dough over and above their salary in ads does it not make the team a more attractive place to play? I want to see Sanyang shilling used cars and Nick Garcia selling slap chops!

    Christ, it could be worse

    Not upset...amused.

    I find it entertaining. Cornball advertisements are always great to see.

    Milo is big in the West Indies, so I would not be suprised that a West Indian mom would make it for her child. When I came to Canada in 1984, Nutella was hardly known, but as an Italian family we had it all the time. [ that goes for almost any Italian product from prosciuto to arugola]

    Agreed. Nothing wrong at all with selling sliced oranges when you think about it. At least it's not a case of uber-fit athletes selling sugary colas or fat-ladden potato chips.

    agree completely

    i think its great the young guys can make some extra cash---team should be doing more of it gets them more dough and hey with guys like frei it might just keep him here longer

    also it might encourage kids to eat more fruit---and that aint a bad thing
    wow 2016 and things are looking up --- come on you reds lets go

    That what I was going to say. Though corny, at least it's something healthy. No biggie.

    1. Most of the people who've replied don't appear to have seen this before, suggesting it was worth reposting.

    2. I'm not sure that anybody is angry about this. They're amused. It is amusing. It's funny.

    Everyone can't have 72 ongoing threads like yourself, that is a skill that must be learned.

    Same could be said for people who buy packaged shredded lettuce in the supermarket. Too lazy to tear a lettuce apart and save themselves a couple of bucks?

    Hey, I'm an English kid originally. Orange slices at half time for footie, tea and sandwiches at the turn for Cricket.

    There's a certain tradition in this, and it's kinda wholesome. I don't know why people have an issue with it.
