Baskin-Robbins terrible experience

T.V. is bad enough today as it is with the Viagara commercials when your eating dinner with your family and then you go into the Living room to try to enjoy the evening and there is this Horrible woman Yelling at this Poor kid for who knows what. We all hate it! We had to see it a few times sadly to find out it was of all things "Ice Cream?" It makes no sense! It's Hatfull and Ugly. We all elected to go to Dairy Queen or the Cold Stone instead! Get a Clue Corporate 30 year olds. Those old jingle still ring in my head and when I think of Dairy Queen I still can hear Dennis the Mennis and his friends on there way there.

In total Disgust, Mrs. King and Family... WE are Christians.

I went to baskin robbins in peoria illinois on knoxville. the lady i ordered my soft served ice cream and a breakfast sandwich. as i paid for it, she gave me my ice cream. i licked it and seen sumthing black on the side. i looked, it was a bug laying on the side dead. i told the lady that i wanted my money back and she told me no. she said that i can get more ice cream. we went back and fourth telling me no. i finally got my money back and i left. i will never go there again, and i will further tell my story to whoever will listen. i could have ate that bug and anything could have happened. please contact me baskin robbins because i dont think i was fairly treated!

THE "IN YOUR FACE" COMMERCIAL IS TERRIBLE! YOU HAVE ANOTHER COMMERCIAL WHICH IS JUST AS BAD WHERE YOU SHOW A FATHER TURNING A VERY SWIFT HOSE ON HIS LITTLE BOY. I DON'T UNDERSTAND A COMPANY WHO WOULD RUN THESE ADS. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER BASKIN-ROBBINS PRODUCT.

Baskin-Robbins offensive commercial

The comment "In Your Face' was totally unnecessary in the commercial from Baskin Robbins. You would think that the writers could come up with some "catchy" commercials that are fun like we used to see. No wonder our childred and grandchildren act like smart alecs. It is promoted in many of the ads on television.

June 6
Tonight while watching "Saving Private Ryan" Baskin Robbins aired same commercial twice . --the one with the mom telling her little boy (who is outside) to hurry and she would take him tom B. &-----then you see the man in the commercial turn the hose full force on the child --there was no smile on his face and he continued to direct that strong strem of water on the boy (who was struggling to get out of the water).. To me the message was one of abuse and the act of hosing the child was not done in fun. After that I'm not sure I would run down to buy the B&R ice cream. Please review content. There is enough abuse of kids without a major ice cream supplier encouraging bad behavior. Thank you for reading

You are absolutely right. Children see a demented mother illegaly kicking the ball, then screaming at and taunting a young child. Hardly an example of sportsmanship or leadership. It is no wonder our children have no respect for others. Idiots like Baskin Robbins are endorsing this idiotic behavior.

Baskin-Robbins terrible commercial

The commercial for Baskin-Robbins ice cream is so offensive and it should be taken off the air. It's a soccer match and a small boy runs over for the ball and a young woman on the side lines kicks the ball away and screams at him "In your face". Please notify Baskin=Robbins they should take it off the air.

Thank you.

Twice in past month I have stopped at your Baskin Robins outlet on McCorkle Ave in Charleston WV to purchase some sugar free ice cream for my wife who has sugar diab. Both times I have been informed that the store had no sugar free ice cream. Out of at least 25 to 30 or more flavors of ice cream there was no sugar free. This time, however, today, a young man, perhaps the manager advised me that he had a bucket of sugar free ice cream in the back but that if he brought it out he would have to cut it in half and I would have to buy half of it. ?
Is this Baskin Robins policy towards their customers?

I am pretty liberal when it comes to humor, but the "in your face" ad was in the poorest of tastes. The ice cream is the last thing you are paying attention to - instead one is shocked to see and hear a grown woman yelling a rude remark in the face of a child. I figured it would garner enough flack to get the attention of the powers that be at Baskin Robbins. The "high five" replacement is a good choice.

Oh my God, I absolutely love the "in your face" commercial, it is hilarious...What is offensive about it? Ice cream brings out the kid in this grown-up, that's all it's about...has nothing to do with child abuse, where tha hell did that come from? Loosen up ladies, try smearing baskin- robbins all over your chest, pull your hubbies face into it while screaming "IN YOUR FACE!", then maybe you will quit watching so damn much TV!...Oh and Baskin -Robbins...pleeease put the original commercial back on, it is perfect...I was so upset when I saw it had been changed, I came right to my pc to post my complaint. I KNEW it was because of some bleeding heart, sexually frustrated, soccer moms behind it all! Don't give in, keep the commercial...if you discover that sales drops off considerably due soley to the commercial, THEN change it...otherwise IN YOUR FACE soccer moms!...oh and GET A LIFE too, while you're at it. ;)

Get the thing off of the air and fine Baskin Robbins, At least 25Mil, to be given to youth soccer teams across the nation. The kids play hard and fair. It is a good clean sport with a whole lot of cardio exersise. The question is, will this add. cause a fight, by an upset parent, resulting death or serious injury.

Baskin-Robbins terrible commercial

The commercial showing the mon kicking the ball and than screaming at some little child's 'in your face, ' has to be the bottom of the barrel for commercials. If any body yelled at my child like that the cops would be called. I can not believe that a company such as Baskin Robbins would pay good money to have a commercial like that produced. Is this commercial suppose to be making a point. Or just show me this is not a store where I would stop and buy ice cream.

Your commercial is the pits.
If one of your workers would walk into you’re office and scream into your face, I'm sure you would be offend, much less have very ill feeling about that individual. If you saw a mother or an adult person in a grocery store, or any place, screaming like that to a child, I might add, wouldn't you want to call the child abuse center! Where the heck where your heads? We have enough abuse, you don’t have to show them more…. Good Grief

this is bullsh**. They made the commercial because its funny. If you've ever studied the effects of Mass Media (which I seriously doubt), you would know that a mimic effect due to exposure to negative images through television outlets is extremely unlikely. The only reason those myths persist is because whiny controlling uneducated people like you complain about it. Read a book ###.

Do what I just did...send a letter to James A. Earnhart, the President of Baskin-Robbins. The address is Baskin-Robbins, Dunkin' Brands Inc., 130 Royall Street, Canton MA 02021. Maybe if enough people write in, they'll drop it. Personally, I think it's the worst example, next to parents fist-fighting, of unsportsmanlike conduct. What message is it sending to kids? And who wants to buy ice cream from a company who thinks this commercial is funny? I live about 1/4 mile from a Baskin-Robbins and I have no desire whatsoever to buy ice cream from there. At this point, I'll take Cold Stone's high prices anyday!

Okay, here we go again. A bunch of people that cannot recognize a sense of humor when they see it. Obviously the company meant no harm with the commercial and are just going with every other commercial out there now days and trying to add a bit of humor into their advertisement. You have all failed at realizing this. And with the current worldly events going on, this is the most outrageous thing that you need to keep your kids protected from you have issues.

I would go as far as to say the people that were so appauled by this commercial are in that Berkeley, California mindset, where they're living in their own perfect little world and wouldn't survive minutes outside of their little comfort bubble they have surrounding them. They believe that everything can be solved peacefully so they *try* and kick the Marine recruiting center out of their town. They also have the beliefs along with others that we should change all of our American beliefs so that people who come into the country aren't "offended".

These are, for the most part, the people who think that we should take the Pledge of Allegiance out of schools, keep English from becoming the "official" American language, and think that America should apologize for all sorts of things that are closely related to those types of topics. I think that is outrageous, and I believe that if they're so easily offended with things of this nature that they should just head on out of the country and head to some place like France, where they have a habit of being "appauled" and complaining about even the smallest events. They would fit in a lot better. I know that is a little extreme but I just get tired of hearing about the small portion of America becoming a weak minded group of, as Bill O'Reilly would say, pinheads.

So to those who fall into the previous group, take the commercial for what it was. As a humorous commercial that wasn't intended to hurt anyone, but to get a few laughs and get their product out there.

That and toughen up some and stop continuing on this current trend of becoming more and more prissy, and let us strive to become more like the generations of the 40's and 50's as far as mental toughness goes. Take the good with the bad and keep on trucking.

Also, If you're so worried about what the kids will see, it's on you, not Baskin Robbins or any other company, to protect them from viewing it.

i thought the commercial was funny. it didn't mean any harm and it does NOT teach poor sportsmanship. IT WAS A JOKE! i couldn't stop laughing and i searched all over the internet to try and find the commercial and send it to my friends. i am not an abuser, i am not a "mental midget" and i am not one of those moms that run up and down the field screaming at little kids. i can't believe that there is all this stuff on tv with sex and drugs and showing people getting killed and people are getting mad over an ad that was supposed to be a joke. most intelligent people would not take that mother to be a roll model and start running out on the field and kicking balls away from kids. and i'm pretty sure that kids aren't going to start acting like that if you pay attention to them and teach them right from wrong. most people would see the humor in the commercial and laugh with it cause it is such ludicrous behavior, like stalking a computer animated gecko on a train...you parents and grandparents and great grandparents who have nothing better to do than complain about a commercial like that, need to go out and get a job or hobby or something because there are way worse things in the world like war and global warming. get a sense of humor and start paying attention to the more important issues at hand...

Get a life, people. Commercials are not meant to be taken seriously. What is wrong with our society when we have to pull commercials just because they offend people? Oh, no! We upset someone! Can't have that! First they pulled the Dunkin' Donuts commercial because Rachel Ray was wearing a scarf that resembled something Muslim. Oh, no! Can't offend the Religious Right! Now this... What next?

That commercial was hilarious. Now it's absolutely stupid, just like nearly every commercial on TV. Humor always offends someone. Maybe that's why every commercial on TV has become ridiculous and dumb. Everyone's afraid to offend someone, so they end up saying nothing at all.

Rediculous - Are you kidding me. This is just an over zealous soccer mom with a stick up her butt. This commercial is in no way degrading and very far fetched when it comes to child abuse! In my opinion I think children are getting babied a little too much in today's society. Parent can't dicipline a child without thinking twice if the authorities are going to knock on the door!

Well, the PC police have won. The ending of the commercial has been changed so the woman high fives the coach instead of saying "in your face" to the kid.
Some people have no sense of humor. The whole series of BR commercials has been very humerous, showing what crazy things people will do to get to BR.
The original commercial was not mean spirited but amusing and zany. And I bet most kids "got" the humor more than the humorless parents.

in a day where there are many problems on sports fields where parents are fighting with coaches, refs and other parents this was not a good idea. many kids have gotten hurt by these things happening and we need to make a field more positive. Is it not enough that we have had kids killed due to this bad behavior and example? remember we teach by our actions.

Baskin-Robbins bad service

Between July 5, 2008 and July 9, 2008, I went to Baskin Robbins store in Hatfield, PA (located at 1250 Bethlehem Pike Hatfield PA) FOUR times (on 4 different days) and every time I asked for ice cream in large waffle cones. The store operators never had the cones on any day of my four visits! They claimed they ran out of large waffle cones because they made them in limited numbers because the cones go bad after two days if not sold. Well, I will never go back to this store that forces me to eat my favorite ice cream in a cake cone which I really do not like much.

I can understand if it wasn't four days in a row how you can have a resonable complaint, but since you went four days in a row, and the supply truck comes only once a week, sometimes places run out of things. Just get a cup next time. Doing so would mean getting the ice cream you like, but with out the stress of eating a cone you really don't like that much.
