Juicy Drop Commercial Labelled ‘Candy Porn’

In Over-Reaction to Potentially Pornographic Children’s Advertising news today, we have this analysis of a current Juicy Drop commercial from Media Bites and Liquid Generation.

Noting the copy “hardcore candy that is dripping with attitude” and “get extreme with the deliciously intense flavor of Juicy Drop Pop Sweet,” Media Bites dances around the candy facial but Liquid Generation calls the commercial and the brand’s website Candy Porn.

If you try hard enough (oops, we said “hard”), you can read sex into everything. But candy porn? Even our horny male ad slut mind doesn’t go that far with this one.

Psychologists say the clearest sign someone is unhappier than they realize isn’t sadness — it’s when they stop being able to feel joy in things that used to light them up, but they keep going through the motions anyway
