commercial with popsicles and glass

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
I don't like the commercial that shows up on TV, while my kids is with me, and it shows a factory making red Popsicles being made with sharp jagged pieces of glass sticking out of them. The little pointed glass is of many different little colors and they show the glass being poured into the liquid juice used to make the glass-sickles.
The Popsicles are notched with sharp spiked pieces of glass! The snaggy ragged Popsicles that has something to do with a tobacco commercial has my autistic child chattering away at the screen, and repeating again and again “I want glass Popsicles.” Yeah, she is autistic, and yes we have red popsicles here in the house, but still I keep trying to tell her that they don’t really make those, and it would hurt her mouth, but she repeats right on with a joyful smile about wanting “some.” it doesn't help that the commercial shows a factory line with them being laid on.

Anybody else seen it?

never seen it. I think I would complain to the company with the add. No matter how minor some people think an ad is there is always SOMEONE who is offended and if enough folks complain - they'll pull it.

The website for the commercial is called "The Truth" and their goal is to make people aware that the smoking industry manipulates advertising and facts to "secure" replacements for the 1,200 people who die from tobacco-related illnesses everyday.

Shards O' Glass

Long story short, the "Shard's O' Glass" commercial is sarcastic jab at tobacco companies meant to help people think about the idea that if tobacco commercials were as honest as the fake commercial, would they still buy tobacco products?
