Glad-vertising

Two products that I rarely buy: gum (gives me a headache) and sausage (don't eat beef or pork). But some recent gum and sausage TV commercials have put a half-grin on my face.

CadburyAdams' Dentyne. Its new "Make Face Time" campaign, cleverly juxtaposing social Web media jargon with photographs of human interactions. Almost compensates for its use of icky Sorbitol and Sucralose ingredients instead of real sugar.

Jimmy Dean breakfast sausages from Sara Lee. Nonplussed heavenly bodies and weather elements talking amongst themselves about breakfast. Yes, that's the set-up. Method acting at its pinnacle, A++ to Central Casting and Wardrobe. Croissant sandwiches, 29 grams of fat...yikes!

The H Word

Club H Fitness, in Hell's Kitchen, Murray Hill, Hoboken and Jersey City. A 5-star gym and spa facility with recession-sensitive member dues. Great cardio and yoga classes...clean, up-to-date equipment (not like skanky New York Sports Club)...no attitude (like David Barton's)...and you don't have to take out a second mortgage to belong (like Equinox).

From personal training to massage to a nutritional juice/snack bar, Club H has it all. It's the official gym of the Alvin Ailey dancers and Broadway Bares. Join this month and receive 2 extra months at no added charge, plus 2 complimentary one-on-one training sessions.
