A drink that makes you fly?
This advertisement is a bit of a stretch if it happens in real life. It starts off with a man
walking down a street with his lunch box. Then a pigeon flies over his head and welltakes a
s**t on him. The man gets mad so he wipes the crap off his shoulder and then takes his lunch
box and pulls out a blue and white can. He drinks whats inside the can and sprouts wings from
his back. So to get back at the pigeon he flies up above it, unbuckles his pants and wellit ends
there but Im sure you can guess what happens next.
This product comes in many different commercials but basically portrays the same thing
all of them. The next commercial of this product I looked up starts off in Spain with the running
of the bulls. Everyone participating is running away from the stampede of bulls. Some
contestants jump up and over walls while others climb up street lamps to escape the bulls. Then
there happens to be a water stand in the way of the runners. But instead of giving out waters, the
lady behind the stands hands them the same blue and white can. The runners drink whats inside
and sprout wings from their backs, and instead of continuing to run away from the bulls, they all
turn around towards the bulls, scaring them into hiding and climbing over walls.
