Granted, it’s a counterintuitive concept: a sexy sales pitch for plant food and potting mix and the like. But it works in this commercial for Miracle-Gro (via ML Rogers of New York). Interspersed with the flowers and soil and vegetables, we get a glimpse of slim bare midriff, a blonde with a gleam in her eye, a cute woman sitting on a bench by herself. And it’s all backed by the vintage R&B song You Sexy Thing.
