I really like the campaign even though the art direction could have been better.
Great stuff anyways, good thinking.

Good to see different thinking for dental floss.

How could it have been better? It looks OK to me

The logic does not quite stack up.

The art is a bit rusty too.

Agreed. What is this ad saying? Showing fruit "falling apart at the seams" suggests a slow digestive process.

Very bad.

My digestive process slows down when I read such comments.
An ad is not an Excel document. It's not about logic and calculations. Just the opposite.
One of the best ad books is titled "Fuck Logic" and there is a strong reason for it.
The ad does communicate the benefit in a very clear, interesting and original way. It's a "quick" KV. Would make a great and effective outdoor, which is very rare.

Yes. Fuck logic. But only if the message is clear. This isn't. It could easily be interpreted as strawberry flavour or WTF? This is why it's bad. It would not get past a good CD. I assure you.

You've got strawberry pips in the teeth and you use the floss to remove them. So easy. There're people that don't have such problem but for some it's a discomfort. I'm sure the target (including me;-) get the ad right. Insight is here, whatever the best CD says;-)

Very graphic. Smart.

Guest's picture

Don't Like, it makes you understand that the floss is strawberry flavor!!

matks's picture 471 pencils

No it doesn't. It has a strong insight, you've got to eat a strawberry to get it.

It doesn't have a cow, chicken or pig. I like it!

Doesn't communicate accurately: does it taste like strawberry? Or does it get strawberry seeds out of your teeth?

It's a good-looking ad, executed well. But too clever by half.

I ask myself that question all the time when I go through the process. I'm just curious to know what part doesn't sit right with you?

my first read on it was it's strawberry flavored floss. so if that was the case, then the visual is really good. other than that, like everyone is saying, the message becomes less clear as to what you are saying.
