Frosties UK advert (23/05/06)

[MikeManc]

Bullein boards/forums/blogs have beeen obsessed with the advert for 4 weeks since it hit cinemas on may 23. Posts either hate boy actor (he died of cancer/ committed suicde/ was beat to death/got beats) or love him with posts even giving a possible name.

Some guys have suggested it could be used against guys held as terrorists (I have heard stories of guy capitulating with in an hour of Barney (I love you.....) or McDonald 3second slogan "I'm loving it"

I listened to the music of the frosties (UK)advert continually for 1hour and 14mins - just in the end the voice changed from "they're gonna taste great" to "you're gonna be straight" and i had to turn it off after 10 repitions.

Anyone know from internet or magazines if this chinese water torture/ playing the same phrases (OVER AND OVER) close to a suspect works? Have been unable to find a web site that can confirm it.

But you don't give us your opinion Mikem I'd be interested...

Personally I'm disturbed as to why they chose a 17 year old (blatantly!) actor to plug a kiddies cereal! He just looks stupid and I cringe every time it comes on...

ok, frosties have certainly used much younger children before, and i am shocked because i have seen the advert played 6am to bedtime. It certainly reminds an adult like myself about frosties, but i would want something more in my box of frosties than a medel of Owen. You could (85%) be right about the advert, i think it was DESIGNED to attract the attention of adults; although having some child appeal. its not as annoying as you might think. listen to it 30 more times, will grow on you (presumably as long as England in the finals) - then i will detest that advert. As for the lad singing, hope he goes on to a cool college :-) (and lets hope kelloggs got him there)

Well, I think chocolate mini weetabix rock harder, and I'm 24 and I've never seen them on TV, but still can't get enough of them :op
