Oh crap!
All Huggies' wipes are the thickest to help keep poop off you too.

Why use the word Crap in the headline then a cutesy word like poop, and is thickness going to stop the poop that runs round the sides of the huggies???

It's too busy and doesn't really make much sense to me.

First sight: "ooh crap" and then a box of huggies. Am I the only one linking these two ?

Considering the nice insight (it's not just about keeping babies clean), I think the execution could have been something more interesting.

Not saying they should've but seems like they could've used a visual like this. :P http://adsoftheworld.com/media/print/fula_grandpa

This ad is completely tasteless. I don't get the point of shock value advertising in a baby wipes ad?? Maybe it's over my head but I see no hyperbolic wit here. All I know is that I was stumped when my 5 year old asked, "Mommy, what does this spell?". What was I to say, "I don't know?" as if I can't read a 4-letter word?!? So, I said it said, "Oh, CARP" which happens to be a neighboring town. He dropped it but even he knew I was full of CARP!

Dumb ad. Makes me want to give up on Huggies.

Please, leave some rest to 3D words in real settings without a decent idea validating the use of it.

I saw this ad three days ago in a magazine and disliked it so much that I remembered to look it up today and find a way to comment on it. I've never done that for an ad before! I"m not a prude, but I am a Mom and IMO The words "crap" and "poop" have no business in an ad. And for a child product, no less! Yes, we all know what it is, but we don't necessarily want to read about it named specifically. It was a major turnoff and all I could remember was "CRAP" and the rest of the ad was invisible to me. Why not say "...the thickest wipes to help protect you AND your precious baby..." If Huggies and Pampers wipes were sitting right next to each other on the shelf for the same price, I am going to remember the stupid visual from this ad. Additionally, Huggies should remember that many families still have values in place regarding no potty humor, so why set that example? Shame on you, Huggies!

OK and here's another point- there are condom ads (thankfully not in our home magazines), but do they say "Hey these are for catching sperms and germs!" It's called discreetly advertising what's good about your product without calling it out.
