Guest's picture

i saw much betters ones.. for tabasco sauce! they trying to copy the style!

Guest's picture

Sorry, but that's really bad... The legacy of hot sauce ads is great. You can't compete with an ad like this one.

the idea has been done. sorry, it's too literal as an execution http://inspirationalcopy.blogspot.com

rubbish.

Guest's picture

come on guys! it happened the category is well explored worldwide.. that makes the brief a hard one (let alone the standards in KSA)....and i guess the agency was not in an international creative competition within the category , but simply trying to answer the brief for a local campaign. this would give some credit to the attempt. layout is clean. photo is good.

nothing great

If I never see another Hot Sauce ad, it will be too soon. Stop it. please.

guys it is a lighter not a detonator

Nice. The "lighter" in his hand should look a bit more like a lighter and to make sure you still get a clean pack shot, whack a wee one next to the line. Confusion averted.

You still get it without that mind you, so it just comes down to taste really.

"stay low, move fast"

Doin' it for the points

Guest's picture

Yeah taste, that's it. Sort of how you enjoy the taste of of hot jizz in your mouth.

Disco Munky's picture 3839 pencils

You're the sort of coward that starts a riot.

Loud and stupid.

Guest's picture

Sorry I couldn't understand you. I believe your mouth is full of hot jizz!

Disco Munky's picture 3839 pencils

I get what you're trying to say, but this is a website. No speaking here. Just words on a screen. You understand? No speaky. Just looky.

I'm also curious about why you insist it's "hot jiz". Is that how you like it? Just like daddy gives it to you? Or was it some uncle who face you can't remember but whose penis is all you can see at night?

You're screaming at your screen aren't you? Spaz.

I hate spec's picture 46 pencils

It look like a detonator. not a lighter, which still doesn't redeem it. It's just another in a long line of hot sauce ads. Make it stop.

Ivancette's picture 113 pencils

Things that look like other things, this kind of ads sucks! are useless. they dont comunicated anything!

El que sabe, sabe arte. El que no, es redactor.

the model holding the bottle looks like a caveman, perhaps he should smack two stones together if he needs a light.

Guest's picture

Its supposed to be a lighter. Just because its done in KSA doesnt mean it has to do with bombs and detonating stuff.

Guest's picture

Light up your food with Goody hot sauce

nadie se quiere prender fuego cuando pone un picante en la comida, solo quiere saborear.negativo.
