Don’t Eat Aunt Marsha

Welcome back!
Yes, the phrase that you see is exactly what I meant to type.
There is a commercial on TV for the Verizon network. It shows a family and kid with a pinata and one child trying to whack it. The father (I guess) is talking to the people of the network. After talking to them, he takes the stick from the blind-folded child and whacks the pinata which of course causes candy to fall out. Of course the amount of candy falling out is way more than what that pinata can hold.
While the stuff is falling out, he turns, points, and says “Don’t eat that Marsha!” However the man is talking so fast that it sound totally as if he is saying - Don’t eat Aunt Marsha. Every time that I hear that commercial, now, I burst out laughing.
Of course if the man had properly enunciated what he was saying, I wouldn’t remember the commercial and wouldn’t laugh now.

My Brother and I have been wondering the same thing. We even tried to use the caption, but it didn’t work. We had resided to Don’t eat Aunt Marsha for awhile until my brother said to google it. We thought it could say Don’t eat that Marsha, but it sounded so much like Aunt Marsha. We laugh everytime we see the commercial too. One of the others was don’t each that ant, marsha, but it was too long of a phrase. Everytime we see that commercial we still try to figure out exactly what the words are. This was a stupid commercial.
Thanks for clearing that up.
