So this is a nice commercial in that Dad doesn't do what Dads tend to do when kids do something that risks dirtying up their precious cars, instead taking the messiness in stride and enjoying seeing his little daughter being happy with her food in the back seat.
But, being Me, I still can't help but wonder why the trip to the Drive-Thru didn't just include a stop off in the park so that Daddy and Daughter could have a little face to face time while she's eating that burger. What's the big hurry that requires this little girl to open ketchup packets while riding in the back seat? Sure they seem to be having fun, but it seems to me that they aren't having as MUCH fun as they would have if they just took my advice and found a nice place to eat lunch quietly, maybe even have a conversation in the process, instead of this rushed mess-waiting-to-happen. Slow Down, Dad. You don't have to be glancing at your happy daughter using the rear-view mirror. Wherever you're going with that kid, it will still be there if you arrive 20 minutes later. Jeesh.
Confusing mere motion with progress is what people have been doing for quite a while now.
