Skittles Gives Girl Facial

skittles_cutie.jpg

All we can say about this Skittles video featuring a cute girl with Skittles all over her face is it’s a good thing those Skittles are Skittles and not zits. Because zits would be gross. And zits would be a reason to point at this girl and make fun of the way she looks.

Wait. What message is this commercial sending? We’re confused. Are we supposed to think a girl is hot because she’s covered with Skittles? Or ugly? Or we should only love her for her beauty…or Skittles-covered face? Or are we supposed to…eat her face?

Please help. Thanks for confusing us, BBDO Toronto.
