Fanta Advert

TV advert for Fanta where they spit out product.

Does anyone else HATE this advert or is it just me that that thinks it is repellant and disgusting to watch?

    No, it's not just you. That advert sets my teeth on edge along with the KFC one. Who on earth thinks them up?

    I also hate that Fanta advert. But.....not as much as that 'banker' Michael Winners ones for Esure. I could cheerfully throttle him. :mad:

    I just laugh at the Michael Winner adverts - especially the ones where he wears a dress and speaks in a falsetto voice!!!!:j

    Urgggh no, it's NOT just you, I can't stand it either!! It's disgusting. You can just imagine kids picking up the idea and spitting their drinks everywhere - I HATE spitting :(

    I think it was on Radio 1 the other day, that they were saying that the KFC advert is the most complained about advert EVER ;) And I'm not suprised!

    What *has* happened to table manners these days, eh? ;)

    Do like me and refuse to use the perpetrators of these ads. I refuse to use Direct Line, E-sure, Tesco's etc.
    Every silver lining has a cloud...

  • they are just adverts. i know they are not i the best of taste but are they really doing harm?

    then again we may have stupid kids spitting fanta on people while happy slapping them!

    or maybe putting on a flowery dress and making rubbish mouse jokes :p

    Whilst I disapprove generally about people complaining about adverts to the ASA on these kinds of grounds.......for example people complaing about Bennetton adverts showing a new born baby-with blood or was it an abortioned foetus? People complaining about the opium? perfume ad with a woman showing a nipple................ these kinds of complaints do annoy me, however, not having a TV I have not seen the fanta or KFC ads therefore I cannot comment.

    If you really feel strongly about it then complain to the ASA.
