For Every Woman with a Walk-In Closet, a Man Out There Needs a Big-Ass Fridge

You might have seen a walk-in fridge on TV or in movies. Typically they’re used for storing dead bodies or hiding from a giant blob monster until you suffocate and/or freeze to death.

Rarely is a walk-in fridge an appealing thing.

But in “Walk-In Fridge,” Heineken positions the frozen death box as the XY version of every Sex and the City fangirl’s dream: the walk-in closet. It’s good — the kind of work we expect to see during the Super Bowl. And the walk-in fridge does indeed kick copious ass.

After the screamers have their joygasm, the ad wraps up with a simple enough tagline: “Heineken. Serving the planet.” Suits just fine.

Work by TBWAAmsterdam. The ad appeared on Dutch TV at the beginning of the month, but the PR firm says it drew over a million hits online in less than five days — which is probably why they’re bringing it hither.
