Because PB&J Should Be More Democratic than It Is.

Here’s a pretty idea. To drive donations to the Greater Chicago Food Depository, Leo Burnett/Chicago and Starcom remind shoppers that “food shouldn’t be a luxury.”

To illustrate the point, ordinary items — soup, broccoli, PB&J sandwiches — are positioned as luxury goods, languishing in the manicured hands of luxe porcelain models.

The bottom portion of each piece invites viewers to donate what they can to the Depository. “Text MEALS to 90999 to give $5,” it adds — simple enough to do on impulse.

If you’re in the Chi, expect to see these on CTA buses and rail cars from now to December 31st.

“At least it’s not worse” is meant as comfort, but psychologists who study what’s become known as toxic positivity have found that skipping straight to the silver lining, before someone’s felt heard, tends to make them talk less about what’s actually bothering them, not more.
