| It's not a passing fad In YouTube era, more Super Bowl ads and ...
We know from past years that the ads for the Feb. 4 game aired by such perennials as Anheuser-Busch, Pepsi and General Motors will have splashy, spare-no-expense production values. But one ad you might see for Doritos, the tortilla chip of Frito-Lay North America, was made by amateurs for nothing. Well, not exactly nothing. In a contest to create a Super Bowl ad for Doritos, two guys from Cary, N.C., are among five finalists. They spent $12 plus tax at Kroger for four bags of the chips. Doritos are the centerpiece of their boy-meets-girl-who-loves-chips spot. The creators ate a fifth bag for lunch the day of the shoot. The winner of the Doritos contest will be revealed the day of Super Bowl XLI. The Doritos ad will be one of four Super Bowl spots this year that put consumers in the creative director's seat.
Acid reflux and GERD: Are they the same thing?
Acid reflux is one cause of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), a disease in which stomach acid or, occasionally, bile flows back (refluxes) into your food pipe (esophagus). Because GERD may also be caused by bile reflux, the term "acid reflux disease" is more specific in describing the cause. But it doesn't describe the body part affected by the acid reflux. Most doctors prefer "GERD" because it's a more comprehensive term. Drug companies that market and sell acid-suppressing medications, however, often prefer to use "acid reflux disease." .
