Cadbury Picnic chocolate bar: No picnic
A Picnic chocolate bar is chewy, nutty and difficult to eat. GPY&R Melbourne challenged its audience to eat a Picnic in the space of a :30 commercial break. People filmed themselves using mobile phones, webcams and handycams and then created their own TV ads using the website, http://www.itsnopicnic.tv. In an Australian first, every single ad that went to air on television (200+) was unique, and created using the website.

just to say that actually I've already seen this sort of idea couple of times turning into a reality show

Kind stupid, but smart and interactive.
Nice!!!
not that new!!! jaegermeister did unique ads in germany, danmark and other countries (more than 4000 - i guess) couple of years ago. one person in one magazin just only for one time.
one should not take life so seriously - as one will not come out of it alive.
if those aren't all faked people: cool idea!
cool idea. involve & show real people and all.
BUT!
the MVO is creepyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy i won't be able to watch more than a couple of those
also, one person speed-eating a chocolate bar. then a second person. third, fifth... enough already. even if they use 200 different people, it's still the same thing. would've been great if they had some different stuff going on, like people doing a bunch of things while eating the darn chocolate bar... i mean the concept is all right, but the idea of ppl just shoving stuff up their throats is lousy.

whats the fastest time ever taken to eat a cadbury picnic bar?
what's the point of trying to eat it in :30? why does that make it great? I can't eat a Nutty Bar in :30 either and it's probably better. Great idea come from great strategies and this isn't one of them.
