It’s been a while since we last saw ads for Wrigley’s Juicy Fruit. For a Throwback Thursday reminder, check out this 2000 relic starring Aaron Paul aka Jesse Pinkman.
Earlier this week, DDB Chicago launched a new campaign for the client; while the agency produced some print work over the summer and its Australian office produced some unusual creative a few years ago, these two TV spots are the brand’s first in more than a decade.
The opening ad’s headline is fairly self-explanatory: “Locker Room Guys Resort to Tasteful Arm Farts.”
The second spot continues with the “fun triggered by chewing a piece of Juicy Fruit” theme: the characters can’t speak because the gum is so deliciously sweet…
No word on whether we should expect more TV spots in this series.
