Are snacks made with gas heated ovens inferior in some manner? Don't you just love advertising copy writers and their attempts at logical arguments?

I was raised in the great land of Retailganda creativity and consider it an oratory skill. (See? Even I make up words from living this American Dream.) What is sad is when the communists who don't understand words well try to use semantics to manipulate arguments against them to other targets, while the party is destroying the world as if they were going to win this Hot cold war.

Sounds funny to us... but this was a time when electricity was still futuristic to many. It would certainly have been an attention grabber.
