Something worth sucking

Ever heard of Chupa Chups?
It's a delicious lollipop invented by some Spanish guy named, Enric Bernat. You know he thought it were to be a good idea if he put hard candy on a wooden stick (later transfered over to plastic sticks), because kids were getting sticky hands.
'Chupa' comes from the Spanish word meaning 'to suck'. Hence the name....

Anyways, I was browsing around Adsofthworld.com, and found a childhood candy :D Yea, did you guess it? Chupa Chups!
Courtesy of Miami Ad School, I thought was freaking genius!! Well I mean, you know, as far as candy goes :)





I thought i was a pretty good idea. I mean, fizzy inside, fireworks explosion? It just goes together doesn't it? Makes me want one now, they are really good lollipops, not to mention they have like 40+ flavors :)
Oh and did you know? Salvador Dali designed the logo in 1969, with the slogan "it's round and long-lasting".
I liked that the firework was like the main concentration. And it's just that, nothing else. It's simple, but it kinda really takes up a lot of the page, but it shouldn't matter that much, since it's a firework and fireworks are always the main attraction right? And this new fizzy flavor should be the main thing everyone is looking at, or wanting,

Need a moment?

Hulu junkie presents a commercial by Geico. The first one I ever heard from this campaign was the little piggy crying "wee, wee wee" all the way home, but this following one just makes me laugh every time I watch it. I absolutely love this Geico ad! ...
Anyways, it's the 'Abe Lincoln honesty' commercial .. take a look:



Mike McGlone is the firs male actor you see, and Timothy Simons plays Abe Lincoln, and he totally did a good job. LOL.. Geico has the weirdest commercials but they usually get the point across, right? 'Save you 15% or more on car insurance' ..yadda yadda yadda... stuck in my head because of so many times I've heard it...


= Instant classic! :)

Too bad in Abe's time there weren't any Twix bars to munch on in awkward moments ;)

Another Toña favorite

Just one more Toña favorite of mine. Same campaign from my previous post called "Copy Cat?".
Same basic concept, of culture and the joy of life and this beer. Love it. :)
Any ways short post, just wanted to share :)

Frost

Presenting Victoria Frost, a Nicaraguan pale lager. Came out around 2008, along with this commercial. I think it grew the audience's interest, however once they tried it, it was total gross ville. No joke. They tried to sell this beer like 2 for 1, but nothing, it just tastes like water.


I mean, the commercial isn't bad. It's cute actually. They whole mysterious, finding a new thing/beer in like a random iceberg on beach because it's suppose to symbolize freshness but like cool and always cold kind of beer. Yea that is what they tried to go for. But it still tasted gross.

Around when it came out, it was close to New Years eve, and on that night, no one wanted to buy their beer. What better way to get them drunk off of other stuff, for later, with no tastes buds left, they can just buy the Victoria Frost, and everyone wins right? I mean, honestly, everyone kind of wins. People get drunk, and the bartenders make a sell. Oh happy days :)

Luxury life for everyone

I was watching Hulu, and this one ad by Ralph Lauren came on. I'm not into the the whole preppy, polo wear, but this was a interesting kind of commercial and thought I'd share.

If you didn't know, Ralph Lauren is a so called high-end casual or semi-casual wear for people of all ages.
They sell pretty much everything, from their famous polos to accessories, perfumes and home stuff. It's pretty nice, I know my mom and brother buy this brand sometimes. A little to preppy for me.

What I liked in this one commercial is that it shows this kind of unity of the brand, and everyone else in it. It's like the "wannabe English, play croquet, and hang out with the chums and have a picnic on a Saturday" kind of deal while "enjoying that sweet childish romance", you know what I mean? I like the song too. Just got me to actually watch the whole thing, even though i don't care for this American designers wear. Expensive but affordable.

What do you think of this luxury lifestyle?
