hehehe...i love it, bt a bit far fetched...its tellin me nothing bout th product

~ old habits die hard, older ones never do ~

kre8's picture 993 pencils

it's a chocolate bar.
what do you wanna know about the product, einstein?

chintan ruparel's picture 1518 pencils

so a chocolate bar named 'lion' eats other food kept in d fridge? what i meant to say was that i liked the idea, bt it becomes void wen u relate it to selling the product...just b'coz a bar named lion ate that thing, im not gonna buy it!!

whattttt? are they saing that the chocalete ate the food cause is named lion????? c'mon guys, this is stupid at its best! First idea, easy and shalow! should i say more? the layout is awful, the shadows are all twisted! and theres no signature! 2/10 cause they come from a country that i love!

is there life before death?

i think this ad is cool guys, nice one.
ignore this mutants comment. ney frances would probably find something negative to say if someone left a briefcase with a million bucks on his doorstep. "i dont like the case" "its not leather" "why would you stack the money like that?" "you mean i have to count all of that?"

keep your references like that my friend and you will only see a briefcase with a millon bucks if someone left it!

msred's picture 499 pencils

i thought that was extremely funny.

slim's picture 1047 pencils

Fantastic ad. Simple and fun. It's a chocolate bar so there's really no sales pitch that will make people want to buy it. (happy for you to suggest one).

The fact that there's no 'signature' as you put it is a plus. The best ads are ones that don't look like ads, ie. that don't have logo/tagline bottom right corner. This is advertising 101 and it worries me that you're unaware of it.

Ney Frances's picture 660 pencils

agreed with the sgnature/logo comment! But this is far from fantastic, what is the first thing that you think when i say that my product is named Lion???? the answer is their ad! If you think that relate the name of the product with the benefit is clever you should think harder! but who am I to judge your way to think! If you say is fantastic, it really might be, but only to you! Sorry!

is there life before death?

slim's picture 1047 pencils

what

Ney Frances's picture 660 pencils

I agree with your tagline/signature statement!

But there is nothing fantastic on the ad! Any product named lion would fit in this ad! And the "twist" they´ve made is so easy that makes me wanna kill some lions!

Great idea would be: the chocolate as Cannes Lion! incredible fantastic, c´mon!

Ever wondered why 'Gorilla' won a 'Lion'(at Cannes)?

addyhoch10's picture 2603 pencils

i wonder what a lion bar that ate this whole turkey tastes like...
never really liked this 'lion biting stuff' idea. sorry but this one's disgusting.

sascha's picture 113 pencils

Hehe..well a turkish lion bar it is..

lickytongue's picture 12 pencils

hehe, don't go near that flesh-eating chocolate bar.

Nthngmn's picture 632 pencils

What kinda skeleton is that? Looks ancient. Mmmmmm pterodactyl burger.

I agree with Ney Frances: Named Lion.....Lion Eats.....Eats turkey. Try again boys.

drunkard's picture 115 pencils

BRILLIANT!

deep_tracy's picture 501 pencils

boring first-thought. like ney frances said, stupid and easy.

tuttu's picture 8 pencils

so...the lion bar ate the turkey? thanks for clarifying that guys. i was just lost. i wonder if it will eat me too?

ellehcimeo's picture 3536 pencils

i'm going to be very picky here. lions don't clean bones that well. hyenas do. the lions eat the prey as best they could with the teeth that they have, then, hyenas come along and pick the bones clean. (bear in mind that hyenas also do their own hunting, they are quite formidable at it, but will also steal food from other animals)

also, it's bad to keep chocolate in the fridge. it causes the chocolate to deteriorate faster, causing that odd white film that you sometimes find... not that this chocolate is going to be of any serious caliber.

summation: i would never buy this chocolate bar based on the ad, however i doubt i'm the target.

Ney Frances's picture 660 pencils

They have hyenas as target! can´t you see?

is there life before death?

ellehcimeo's picture 3536 pencils

how could i have missed that? i had the answer all along. it's always the hyenas. always. thanks Ney.

ivan's picture

love your scientific approach ellehcimeo.

ellehcimeo's picture 3536 pencils

thanks ivan. i loves me a good episode of National Geographic!

addyhoch10's picture 2603 pencils

well, ok, another explanation: with a lion bar in your fridge you just get sick of all this other non lion bar food and as nobody eats it the tender turkey meat just rots off the bone. hmm..
