According to one Adrants reader, this commercial for Trident Spearmint Watermelon Splash is “plaguing” Canada. We can certainly see why. It’s not a stretch to assume opera goers – or anyone for that matter – would take too kindly to a guy strolling into the auditorium wearing nothing but a red Speedo and rubbing his ass in people’s faces as he made his way to his seat. Somehow this is supposed to sell gum. We’re at a loss to see how.
