In the Progressive Insurance commercial the husband and wife are shopping for insurance. The Progressive spokesperson comments on how the man is carrying the wife's purse, to which the wife haughtily replies "It's a European handbag" and the husband says "It was a gift" and nods his eyes in the wife's direction, indicating that he has to not only use it but pretend to like it since the wife gave it to him.
I can only assume that one using that reference to a Brand-V grabsack would be stating that the grabsack is not as useful as it claims to be and the only reason anybody would use one is because it was a gift. Or maybe he didn't mean to say that the grabsack is lame or even effeminate, but only was making the cultural reference to the commercial. Maybe he just meant that users of the grabsack might have to explain to people what it is and what it's for, like the dude in the commercial. Back to your original statement, though, Seth. You don't get the point of the reference, and neither do I.
