Another…

if you would almost do anything to get it? One of the things that comes to mind is the commercial for Klondike bars. Throughout the whole commercial you see someone doing something crazy like walking on a tightrope over Niagara Falls, or fighting a lion. These are crazy stunts that someone would have to be out of their mind to actually do, but in the end you see someone eating a Klondike bar with a catchy little jingle playing, “What would you do for a klondike bar?” While most people wouldn't…
