FRIED CONCH

It is 9:10 a.m. and 81 degrees in Palm Harbor, Fla. Rosie is out doing her thing and I am here and Sadie is in the backyard doing dog things.

Last night we ate at the Thirsty Marlin in downtown Palm Harbor. I had deep fried conch, black beans and rice and onion rings and a Landshark. Rosie had Mahi Mahi and fries and a couple of lights.. Very Good. Finished up at the Legion with a few cool ones.

HEy, look!!

Citrus Ads To Feature the Voice of Tom Selleck

December 20, 2007

Remember Magnum P.I.?

Tom Selleck is back in a voice over role with a $90,000 contract as spokesman for Florida orange juice in new 15- and 30-second spots scheduled to air in January.

The Florida Department of Citrus hopes its new OJ ads will have a “magnum” impact of sales.

The Florida Citrus Commission, the department’s governing body, approved the new ads Wednesday.

Selleck’s voice-over narration takes center stage as viewers watch a cascade of orange juice going from pitcher to glass.

“Food scientists have spent years with their beakers and flasks and chemistry sets, trying to come up with something as good for you as Florida orange juice,” says Selleck’s deep baritone. “But they’ve never come close. Start your day with almost 25 percent of your daily recommended fruit and vegetable servings in one 8-ounce glass.”

To close the commercial, Selleck suggests, “It’s a miracle in every way. Florida orange juice. Healthy. Pure and simple.”

Go Gators!
