Back to the drawing board, Wrigley's



In six years of doing this blog, I think this is the first time I've ever snarked on a gum commercial.  Mainly because I don't see a lot of gum commercials.  As little as advertisers have to say about anything, they seem to have even less to say about gum.

This ad is kind of a concession to that point- the people who made it have absolutely nothing to say about their product, but they apparently decided that every few decades they have to make a commercial featuring Juicy Fruit anyway.  Even if it makes no sense and features two disgusting old creeps doing things no adult male should ever do- chew sugary gum and make arm farts.  During their annual one-day visit to a gym.  In the middle of a locker room.  Like I said- makes no sense.

  1. I'm just stunned. Talk about a commercial having nothing even remotely to do with the product. Plus being aimed at the lowest common denominator. I guess Wrigley must have figured out the demographic for Juicy Fruit is 12-year-old boys...it's the only conclusion I can draw.
