I found a bus stop ad to be kind of confusing so I asked Twitter to see what you’d make of it. And you didn’t disappoint.
Victor and John got literal:
@SonnyBunch if you save energy, you’ll pay less on your bills and have more money for movie nights #OnlyThingThatMakesSense #AfterOneMinute

@SonnyBunch If you save energy you’ll have more money to go to the movies, or something?

Well, yes, I think that’s what it means. But maybe that should be at the top of the ad instead of buried down at the bottom? Also, given the cost of theater concessions, what would you have to do to save enough money to buy that? Set your AC to 85? Forego laundry for a month? Finally, does a giant tub of popcorn need to dominate 80% of the space?
Sara suggests yes, it does:
@SonnyBunch Popcorn is delicious. Wait, what was the question?

Corn came in for a beating with Jim:
@SonnyBunch our corn policies are the greenest around. Haven’t you heard?

Jason, however, got the correct answer:
“@SonnyBunch: Can someone explain this ad to me? twitter.com/SonnyBunch/sta…”Obviously an ad for Calvin Klein.

The lesson, as always: Government bureaucrats are great at everything.
