The Natural Confectionery Company have some new adverts, I love this! BRING ON THE TRUMPETS! (Also, Matt Berry is God). Link to their official YouTube account: http://www.youtube.com/profile_videos?user=natconfectioneryco
wtf lol ... I saw the one today with the bear talking about being tough, and the dinosaur walks past.
OT: Right, I'm having a real load of bother remembering an advert I've seen recently. It's a little like the Cravendale adverts, but not. It involves a chap trying to make a Queen's guard move, gives up and gets tripped up by the other guard. Any ideas?
Have you tried them? They're actually nice. I can't eat all that Haribo stuff cos the poisons inside make me ill Give me hippy sweets over violent sickness any day.
You see, the joke is that the red bear character is demanding that "trumpets" be brought on in a situation where neither trumpets are at hand, nor are required for said occation.
Well, that was a fruitful ten minutes or so. I now have my phone sounding off to 'Bring on the Trumpets!' and 'Do any of You speak English?'
Yep - I've tried about 4 different kinds of 'em now, just to be sure, and I hate them. Quite good ads, though I'm sick of this every-food-must-be-healthy crap - foods that are bad for you are supposed to be a treat. Stop the problem of these idiots who make themselves obese by teaching them self-control, not taking away the good food from the rest of us. I think McCoys crisps were the last straw, they ruined them.
I agree with you to some extent, but they really do need to take the crap out of jelly sweets. Any that aren't the natural ones make me so ill these days I don't mind eating crushed bugs if it makes the sweets a pretty colour, but they need to just stopit! with nasty chemical sweeteners. I do 100% disagree with bad stuff being a "treat" though, that is setting a child up for a whole lifetime of bad habits. (Yes I have suffered eating disorders, they are not fun).
Yeah, "treat" was the wrong word there, but you see my point - it shouldn't be the "norm" for a child to be eating loads of sweets and crisps. Because quite a number of them do, there's been this big backlash against the interesting foods to make them ultra-healthy, and while some of it's sensible (reduced fat in crisps), some of it goes far too far. Many vendors are forced to compromise flavour for the sake of whingebags who can't be bothered to teach self control and want to pass responsibility off to someone else.
