Girl Makes Out With a Walrus in Latest Crazy Skittles Ad DDB spot pushes Skittles Riddles
It's come to this—girls swapping spit with tusked sea creatures in the suddenly bestial Skittles campaign from DDB Chicago. Walruses do make the occasional cameo in advertising; BBH's pat-a-cake spot for Vigorsol gum comes to mind. In the amusingly detailed Skittles spot, the walrus is presented as some sort of metaphor for Skittles Riddles, whose colors don't match their flavors. It's a little too much to chew on, but one thing's for sure—that beast's leathery, whiskered lips probably wouldn't taste much like fruit punch. Nice VFX by MPC.
