Would you like bile with that?

You may have heard that CBS has been advertising its fall shows on eggs. Yes, when you open the carton of eggs you may find little messages about some of CBS's biggest shows and most anticipated new ones. How about a CSI omelette? Now US Airways has taken the advertising game a step further and will offer advertising on......(drum roll please).......their barf bags. If only I could make this up myself!!! Yes, they will be letting people advertise on their sick bags as a way to offset rising fuel costs. US Airways is no stranger to financial woes, having gone bankrupt more than once. Maybe someone will have an advertisement and the barf bag and people will be taking the bags with them as they get off the plane. Here are some other ideas for things to advertise on: How about little messages on potato chips (you could eat several different ones each day), toilet paper (a little something extra to read while doing your business), ziploc baggies (a friendly reminder when you pull something out for dinner). Sick of all the ideas yet? Don't forget your barf bag.
