Skittles has the weirdest commercials. Their marketing team must smoke some fancy stuff, but I think it actually pays off! The commercials somehow gracefully straddle the funny fence; one side is disturbing (no college for tree boy!) and the other side is even more disturbing (the finger-esque beard man). See 4/1/10 post to view both bizarre ads (http://adbits.blogspot.com/2010/04/one-last-post.html). Skittles latest commercial isn't as gross as it is oddly hilarious. Also, please don't be surprised when I show up to your Halloween party this year dressed as a tube sock. Tubular costume dude! Sorry, I'll put a sock in it. Please, I know my lame puns can't possibly shock you anymore. Frankly, I think they're [electro]cute!
Here's another weird one for ya. You know who would love these commercials? Roald Dahl. Am I right? I bet The Twits loved Skittles.
A side note about Skittles: I have purchased Skittles at almost every ice arena in the Midwest. It was a must-have during my brother's hockey games. But it wasn't always Skittles. When he first began playing hockey it was the Charleston Chews. Ohmy. I suddenly have a pregnancy-like craving for a CC. Do they still make those?! Please advise!!
