This SNL ad from 1988 popped into my head today. A totally asinine concept. That’s why it’s funny. That’s why I remember it almost 21 years later.
The related ad that ran later in the same show can be seen here. It’s this second one that actually has the line that got me remembering these First CitiWide Change Bank ads today: “All the time, our customers ask us, ‘How do you make money doing this?’ The answer is simple: volume.”
The line may work its way into my next HuffPost, as an answer to the question of how I make money writing for HuffPost when I earn $0.00 per post.
The answer is simple: volume.
