Since the invention of diet soda, advertisers have tried hard to convince consumers that it tastes just as good without the 10 tablespoons of sugar. The latest to try is Diet Dr Pepper, courtesy of Deutsch, whose whimsical effort harkens back to childhood Claymation specials, which, as you may know by now, normally scare the bejesus out of me. But despite the moving clay, this commercial isn't that frightening, with the notable exception of one trippy part when the Easter Bunny starts shouting out flavors, like he just downed a bag of Jelly Bellys.
