William Bernbach - An idea can turn to dust or magic, depending on the talent that rubs against it.

it took a long hard look and then again another one, but I got it.
and afterwards I liked it. it drives the point home definitely.
but am I that slow or is anyone really going to search?

i took second look also, but still the idea escapes me... can someone explain?

The idea is that you will feel an explosion of flavour. It's a powerful knock. That's how I view it anyway.

strong, powerful flavor.

The idea is good. But the toys they chose are misleading.. should be rounder stuff, i guess. first i thought it was a beverage. I think because the "stick" it is pointing to me and looks like a straw. when you hold a lollipop, you don't hold it like that. diffucult to get immediately

I like this one best.

Really like the concept! Well done!

I didn't get it. Until I read all the commments. And then I didn't understand why the stick had to be hollow and resemble a straw. Or why the figures all had to look terribly uncomfortable to lick. Sorry, but I have to say it. Next.

The yellow straw thing would be the lollipop stick. Like in the picture below.

like these. Got them off the bat.

GREAT AD, i wish i had done it.

Jonny Lonestar's picture 290 pencils

I don't like these at all. I like the visuals, but hey, 99% of us didn't get it amd the other 1% had to spend like 3 hours to get it.

Someone explain to me why it's a good idea to just and simply change the shape of your product, no matter what, into anything you want/need, to show what you want to show. Like turning an energy drink can into a gun or something like that.

Plus, "full on fruit flavor"?... do you really consider it a good copy? awesome ad? great ad?
I respect the opinions but I'd really like someone to point out WHY this is awesome and great cause i really can't see it.

I assumed "full on fruit flavour" was a play on "full-on assault". These ads said to me "our candy is so potent it's like having a flavour war in your mouth". Hence the tank, barbarian, etc. etc.

me myself and irene's picture 1246 pencils

yeah, they tell me the same thing, at least they do have a concept and i grant that.
but i still ask, why it's such a good idea to just change the shape of the objects into what you want?... just change it into anything and ready, and voilá!! where's the joke here?... in the straw?
