Method Trashes Dow’s Horny Scrubbing Bubbles

In the most hilarious cleaning product commercial in recent memory, Method has some fun with Dow’s Scrubbing Bubbles. Of course, they don’t mention Dow by name but it’s clear who’s being referred to in this ad.

After fifteen seconds of gleefully shinetastic, but nauseatingly realistic scrubbing bubble commercialism, we see a woman enter her shower only to be confronted by a gaggle of horny bubbles who leer at her and beg her to clean herself in front of them.

It’s all part of Method’s support for the Household Product Labeling Acts which, ostensibly, would make Dow Scrubbing Bubbles look like a can of acid compared to Method’s more natural approach to cleaning.

And yea, this witty little commercial caused a giant kerfuffle.
