This is excellent! Love hot & spicy food, this definitely appealing and fresh. Good execution/idea.

How clever.
Much touted and explored selling proposition in the category, but I have never seen this particular execution. This must be one of the quickest "get" in the history of no-copy advertising.

Hats off!

Guest's picture

you`re wrong - done before - 5 years ago for red rock deli and better executed

Guest's picture

you`re right - for an idea - that was created in some weeks - it takes one our time to do research - whether this idea was done before or not - and after finding out - its very hard to release a great thought - but its advertisers daily work - to start on a new thought - instead of ignoring the research result - this is very very poor self-manifestation of GREY

Old kind of idea using images to see other things. Bad. Very bad.

Hahahaha! Do you work in advertising?

See signature.

- The only thing more rare than a good ad is a good guest comment -

Unfortunately was done about 5 years ago in Australia for a chip company - Red Rock Deli - will try to source the ad if possible. The art direction was much better than this too.

Guest's picture

everything has been done before somewhere

Guest's picture

and what do you recomment - that all creative should quit their jobs - because everything was done somewhere - so now we have found a new job category for advertisers: COPYCATDIRECTORS ????? - what a shame for creative advertisers

Goblin's picture 409 pencils

NastyJester's picture 746 pencils

Inspired. And you don't have to work hard to get it... like Jet Propulsion Lab said, instant "get".

Man, now I wants me some of those. And what better can you say about an advert really?

Nice, try enlarging the chips, 'cause they'll look like dots on a T.V screen, if it flies....

ackattak's picture 396 pencils

Nice! A very quick, fresh approach to an extremely over-advertised selling proposition.

Guest's picture

LOL...in a good way!

Sweet concept. I think the chips are probably as big as you can make them to look like seeds...I'm sure you toyed around with many sizes though...i would hope!

I'd like to see other executions...if you had anymore.

Very good but nothing new.

Extraño las pringles!!!!!

bryan9's picture 110 pencils

Done thousand times!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Guest's picture

I have no doubt that somebody has equated a hot and spicy product with a chili pepper before. But instead of simply shouting 'done' or something even sillier, perhaps you might be so kind to show other executions.

WindPR's picture 18 pencils

Made me think of Chilis Grill & Bar ~ not good!

too many comments for this ad. So i won't comment !

yvancg's picture 222 pencils

It would be good if the people saying done would post the links of the "copied" ads they are referring to.
Just having someone writing "done" with a guest account in a comment is a bit fishy. And their comment is not valid until they demonstrate the copy.
I like the idea and it is the first time i see it.
I am not fan of the background tough, a bit "heavy".
And the white type in the logo is hardly visible, would gain to be slightly bigger.
But overall an excellent idea!
