The Hess Truck Commercials are somewhat iconic on the East Coast. For many, these are the first sign that the Holidays are coming. This seemingly simple commercial taught me a lot. If you're working with children, always have back-ups. If you think you have enough back-ups, you probably don't. If you want to encourage diversity, don't try casting in Canada. And, finally, tell no one - people have been known to get this song stuck in their heads, sometimes evoking unfriendly urges towards those responsible.
