John; I think the same thing as you when I see that ad with the loose string!
Tighten the string between the two cans, hold them straight (in line with the
string) and your voices will be heard! Let us know if your hear about your
response to this ad, but I would not hold my breath! 73, Karl, KO8S

Is anyone else in our group bugged by the Progresso soup TV ad that
features a tin-can "telephone"? Surely some of you, like me, built and
tried one as kids. The Progresso ad has the string hanging loose and
immediately taking a 90-degree turn when it emerges from the bottom of
the soup can. This probably wouldn't bug me so much if a friend and I
hadn't been semi-successful with a string and tin can "telephone" back
in the 1950s, so I know how they work, and it's not like that!
I actually emailed Progresso and explained that its ad men could not
possibly have ever used such a "telephone," but have not heard back (yet).
