A drink that makes you fly?
This advertisement is a bit of a stretch if it happens in real life. First 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
in all of them. The next commercial of this product I looked up starts off with the running of the
bulls event in Spain. 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. In the
midst of the chaos 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 decided to 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.
