– – We all know that many dogs like to ride in cars with their heads sticking out of an open window; a dog who prefers to ride with his tail end sticking out of the window would be, to put it mildly, a contradiction, or at least an unusual preference.- –Well, we meet such a dog in action in a recent Starburst commercial, the idea of which is to show how a sweet which is both juicy like a liquid and also solid is also a contradiction.
