Let's be real, Iowa.
Around here, deviled eggs aren't deviled eggs unless they're made with Miracle Whip.
You know it.
Your neighbors know it.
Heck, everyone from Council Bluffs to Davenport knows it.
That tangy zip of Miracle Whip doesn't just jazz up bland apps.
It's the reason people hover by the deviled egg tray.
So here's to you for keeping it bold, keeping it zippy and keeping Miracle Whip right where it belongs in all your favorite recipes.
Buy Miracle Whip at your local grocery store and get your tang on, Iowa.

Easy English Expression, rehashed.
Hello, everybody.
My name is Coach Shane, and welcome to Easy English Expressions.
Come on, let's master English.
Saturday night, Saturday night, date night, Saturday night.
Coach Shane here.
Do you have any plans for Saturday?
Saturday night?
No, I'm like Chandler in Friends.
I never have plans on Saturday night.
But if you do, perhaps you need this phrasal verb.
Let's go back in time.
Is expression an excellent phrasal verb?
To hit on someone, especially someone.
To hit on someone, to hit on something.
Now, usually the expression sounds like this.
Are you hitting on me?
And that would be a woman asking a man if he was trying to seduce her.
If he was being nice to her because he wanted to date her.
If he was romantically interested in her.
That is almost always how it is used.
So guys...
Now, single guys, of course.
Married guys, you should not be hitting on anyone.
And ladies, of course, if you are married also, you should not be hitting on anyone.
If you are married and you are hitting on someone, well, if you ask me, you're wrong.
But I guess a lot of people like it.
I don't know.
You're wrong.
Don't do it.
Come on, guys.
You know, you chose and you are lucky to find your lady.
So be good all the time.
It's a simple responsibility.
But, once again, if you're single, if you're a single man and you are interested in finding a partner, of course, if you're a single lady and you're interested in finding a partner, then you do need to sometimes perhaps hit on someone else.
And the idea comes from fishing.
So a guy is fishing and he throws out his worm.
And there's a fish swimming in the water.
And the fish sees the worm.
And the fish is like, hmm, should I eat the worm?
And the fish tries a little bit.
And the fish keeps trying just a little bit.
Get a taste.
Is this a fresh worm?
Is it delicious?
And as it tests the worm, if the worm is delicious, if the worm is very nice, if the worm is very fat, then the fish will go and bite the worm.
And this is the idea with the man or woman who is hitting on the woman.
He says, so he sees a woman.
Hi, how are you?
Wow, the sun really looks good on your hair.
Is that a new hairdo?
Wow, your hair looks very nice on your head.
Oh, look at the color in your cheeks.
Now, if the woman is... and she likes it, then the guy will go harder.
So, on Friday, are you busy?
Do you like watching movies?
How about going to the movies with me?
This is the idea.
Same thing in fishing.
The fish, nibble, nibble, nibble.
The hunting man or the hunting woman, talk, talk, talk.
That's the idea.
So my favorite hitting on is when a fish hits on my bait.
And then I can catch the fish and take it home and cook it and eat it.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I know many of you are animal rights activists.
And yes, I appreciate that.
So I apologize if I offended you.
But people are all different.
So don't be too angry with me.
Okay, let's check out the dialogue.
Were you hitting on her?
The vegetable lady?
No, the fruit lady.
I said her melons looked nice.
What?
Ow!
Oh, boy.
Yeah.
I'm not going to talk too much about the conversation, but... Come on, guys.
If you're going to go to the grocery store with your wife...
I don't know.
What's your problem?
So in this situation, the man and his wife are shopping at the grocery store and the wife got angry.
She says, were you hitting on her?
Was the husband being too friendly, overly friendly to that woman?
And the man says, the vegetable lady?
Do you mean the vegetable lady?
And the woman says, no, the fruit lady.
The woman selling fruit.
And the guy said, well, I said her melons looked nice.
She's selling, I guess, melons.
And the wife hit him.
Yeah.
I don't know.
Is that funny?
I don't know.
All right.
Yeah, once again if you're married, if you have a girlfriend, a boyfriend, you should not be hitting on anybody.
You should, guys, do not be overly nice to any woman in particular.
Just come on.
Save it for your wife.
Your wife wants to hear it.
Your girlfriend wants to hear it.
And same thing, ladies.
Don't be hitting on those guys.
Don't be hitting on, you know, the pool boy or the man who comes to cut the grass.
The refrigerator repairman.
Yep.
Leave him alone.
Save that for your husband.
All right, check out the dialogue two more times, and then I need to say some thank yous.
Were you hitting on her?
The vegetable lady?

Were you hitting on her?
