This one I like. I don't know if I've been set-up by the previous ad, but this one seems to read a lot quicker in my opinion than the pants. Although it really is disgusting close-up. She looks like Jenny McCarthy as Carrie in the prom scene. I think these work much better when they lean against each other in a campaign. It's a hellava claim, but I like the idea.
I like the idea, but not the execution on this one
looks like texas chainsaw massacre to me, and what the hell could make the ketchup got splattered all over your face like that
exactly... why is it splattered?

the splatter is just too perfect, too staged. And there is no idea here, just execution

The shirt isn't stained. Does that not count as an idea?

haha, I'm trying to find the source of the ketchup stain, where is it coming from??
... its already been done...
Ketchup? Oh no, it's just that day of the month of her. If you know what I mean.
wow. you're a dick.

technically, yes, it's an idea. I've got the idea to punch myself in the neck, doesn't mean it's a good idea. This is just unoriginal.

way too forced in my opinion.
Awful art direction. It's totally staged, the girl looks ridiculous, the chips look plastic. And where the hell is the sauce bottle?
The way the ketchup is splatteres all over her make me think that the guy who did this ad was watching porn all night the night before.

stain-proof fabric? by the way, it's so forced to have great splat on the model for no related acts.
i agreee with all of you where is the ketsgup bottle and where is the source , the girl looks very scary with her bloood on her face the chips is plastic i don't like this
just doesn't make sense. yeah, the shirt's not stained...so what. strange.
I think cropping off the face and zero-ing in on the shirt, thereby defining the contrast of the white shirt and red ketchup, would help this. Its not about the person, its about the shirt.
I like it because its visual...
nice idea
terrible execution
The one who asks himself where the ketchup bottle is didn´t understood the ad.
Still bad, at least for me.
I don't understand the absense of the bottle. Kindly explain.
Were is the ketchup...???.........blood?? xD
just silly
stupid !!! where is the bottle & why there is two plates of fries ?????
Take a look at her shirt, there's no ketchup on it, just like the other 2 ads, their clothes are completely clean.
These ads are extremely clever. If you look closely at the top of her head it is very dark almost as if to suggest that the top of her head has been blown off by whoever is sitting opposite her! As every one knows with a glass bottle of ketchup when you vigoursly shake it and tap it...it goes everywhere suddenly! This ad is cleverly saying that Ariel will keep your whites stain-free no matter if you have a bottle explode on you or be shot in the head.
As for the other ads with the ink...again the way in which the pen is held indicates a razor and the way in which his wrists are positioned looks to me like the ad is cleverly and "tastefully" saying again Ariel will deal with your stain free shirt wheteher you spill ink on it or slit your wrists in it!!
And the food splattered up the girls legs? Easy, just look at the colour and where it is....she has peed herself! Ad claiming it deals with your white trousers even if you spill your food or pee your pants!!
In fact the more I think about it, it's insanely clever!
Sorry for long reply and sounding as if I am going on but was excited to express how I am seeing these Ariel ads! Certainly an excellent way to get into the consumers heads!!
