A young, blonde woman sits at her desk, in a cubicle of a typical office. She's eating a salad. We see it on a plate before her. She's sprinkling beige chunks onto it. Presumably, these are either turkey or cheese, perhaps both. A balding man in a tie, walks by pushing a cart. He's chanting, "go meat" repeatedly. She looks up with a blank expression on her face. Next, a dark curly-haired main pops-up from under the other side of the cubicle. My guess is that he's a nerdy IT guy. He's outright singing about how her salad "rocks". A woman with a phone comes up behind him and sings as well, as she points with her phone. The salad-eating girl now has a growing expression of shock on her face. A black woman in a yellow outfit pops in and does a little shimmy as she sings her line. Next a chubby guy who looks like Kevin James from King of Queens sits heavily on her desk and the cubicle wall falls down. He does care, he's excited about her salad. She's chewing her salad with a kind of indifferent expression on her face. More shots of people singing and pointing. There's a guy in a argyle sweater by a copy machine, papers all over the floor. Now, some shots of the product, salad in a clear plastic box, yum. I can't really tell if the package is just the meat and you add the salad, or if it comes with the salad part too. Finally, a shot of the whole office grouped together in front of the messy copier, shouting "Farms!"

posted 1-Aug-2008 8:26pm I haven't seen this ad, but the ad in the police station that says, "let the ? eat his meat" is driving me nuts. If they don't stop playing that ad, I'm never going to eat Hillshire Farms again.

posted 19-Aug-2008 2:49pm My husband and I absolutely HATE these "go meat" commercials. There are many of your products that we have, and do use, but not anymore! We will buy nothing from you for quite a long time. These ads are disgusting. We are constantly "muting" our TV before you get to that ridiculous line.

posted 1-Sep-2008 8:39pm I absolutely HATE these commercials, too!! If I can't get to the remote to mute or change channels, I'm sticking my fingers in my ears singing "la, la, la, la, la" or "I hate this commercial" 'til the crappy thing is over.
I'm kind of surprised more people aren't upset by them. Some of them seem to be mocking the whole military cadence thing. And why, oh why are there so many versions playing so often? Ever heard of the concept of running something into the ground, Hillshire Farms?
I will NEVER buy any of their products, period. They annoy me to no end.
Go meat? No, go to #&%%, Hillshire Farms.

posted 2-Sep-2008 10:05am I have never gone to this length before...but seeing the latest Hillshire Farms 'Go Meat' ad has driven me to it. WHAT were these people thinking??? Lame cadence, amateurish concept. If advertisements are intended to draw buyers to products...this revolting mess has actually driven me to far end of the prepared meat case.
The only thing that should "GO" are the clueless Hillshire executives -- who were either deluded enough to come up with it themselves,or conned into thinking this campaign was brilliant and would do the job.
Wake up Hillshire Farms: you lost another customer.

posted 5-Sep-2008 1:11am The Hillshire Farms ads are making me sick! They look like Middle School drama class. Especially the one in the police department setting. Actually, I have seen better Middle school acting, and writing. Sara Lee owns Hillshire Farms, it is a shame they haven't pulled this garbage.
