Milky Weird


This commercial really weirds me out. Man gets rejected, opens candy bar. Inside is a woman who delivers adoring comments. "Why so blue, panda bear?" Man laughs and then bites her head off. It's like a bad dream! First, who keeps a candy bar in their car? Second, who eats a candy bar right after getting rejected? I mean right after? Does anyone do that?

Salon talks about the misogynistic undercurrent which is even more disturbing. Seriously, will this make you buy a candy bar?

Did it talk to you and reassure you that your life was worthwhile?

I love this commercial. Made me remember the product so it worked on me. It's me and gf's punchline for the last two weeks.

If memorability is the only criteria then you're gonna love my Bin Laden commercial for Kit Kat. It's hilarious.
