Maybe because it’s not hip to the existence of guerrilla gardening, Miracle-Gro is using ’70s pop and a catchy new slogan to staple a sense of cool to its 60-year-old plant food product.
Under the wince-worthy slogan “It’s Gro Time,” this dated spot jams in print-supported phrases like “dirt manicure” and “tomato mojo” while gardeners jiggle bare midriffs and mist plants to “I Believe in Miracles (You Sexy Thing).”
God, how hopelessly lame. Thanks to ML Rogers, New York for all this quiet angst.
