Walk Like A Penguin

As I was walking back to my apartment tonight, I found myself negotiating this particularly icy/sloppy section of a sidewalk and almost instinctively, in my head said, "walk like a penguin." Where the hell did that come from? Well, it was some cheap catch-line in a commercial that used to ALWAYS be on The Weather Channel (which I watched a lot of) during the glorious early-mid '90s. Apparently an otherwise forgettable commercial buried deep in my memory bank was triggered today by that line via walking on ice. Nice marketing by Safe Step Ice Melter. Commercial below.

These people need Safe Step Ice Melter
