Droga5 trades the bullshit for lemonade in its latest “Fueled By Everything” spot promoting the hydrogen powered Toyota Mirai.
The spot stars Nikki Glaser, who visits a suburban neighborhood where a group of children are having trouble selling lemonade. Glasser tells the kids that all that extra lemonade could be turned to hydrogen and power a car and negotiates to buy their excess product. It’s a cute take on the campaign’s theme, complete with Glasser joking with the kids about their business problems. The problem is that the spot overstays its welcome, turning what could have been an entertaining 90-second spot into a three minute affair with a lot of filler. There’s a lot of room for further ideas to explore in the series (there’s a whole lot of “everything” left), so hopefully Droga5 trims the excess with the next effort.
