Rifle Sold Separately

Not Photoshopped. Kroger Supermarkets are actually selling "Old Yeller" brand dog food.

What market are they trying to appeal to? The pet-owners-with-rabid-dogs-who have-to-shoot-them-in-the-head segment? The I-never-saw-the-end-of-that-movie segment? The Mommy-said-Yeller-went-to-live-on-a-puppy-farm segment?

Maybe we can look forward to My Girl honey and 911 Flight Schools.

Those other aspects of the movie must be what Kroger means by "learning valuable lessons about growing up."

“The movie is a timeless classic that transcends generations, and we believe this brand will appeal not only to original fans, but to the millions of Americans who share the same kind of special bond with their beloved dogs,” said Barry Vance, Kroger senior corporate category manager.

I wonder if people will still feel the same way about the movie, and the food, after they actually [i]see[/i] the movie.

It seems particularly well timed given the current commerical pet food poisonings.
