Advertising people saw the popularity of extreme sports and decided to capitalize on it. Honestly, do we need "Extreme" color for fucking potato chips?
Another couple of phrases thatdrive me nuts are "low-carb" and "carb-concious". No one gave a shit 5 years ago, now people wont eat food if it has carbohydrates (which is horribly unhealthy, btw). Can you beleive they have low card pasta? what is the fucking point? that's like dehydrated water...

this low carb thing has taken off here aswell... most supermarkets now have an isle devoted to all this fuddy-duddy low carb diet stuff. I don't blame the shops, since they'll make a killing on it, it's the shoppers that demand it, after going on these 'new wave' diets.
