Best chocolate advertisement ever?



The video starts with a women opening her eyes widely, trying to break a new world record of not blinking for the longest hour. It’s really hilarious that she can keep her eyes widely open even when she wash her face, sneeze or hit by a football in the face, but when it comes to eating chocolate, she instantly closed her eyes and enjoy that chocolate so much. The contrast in her behavior is interesting, and effectively shows that she can’t help closing her eyes to enjoy its taste just because the chocolate is so yummy! I really can see the idea of the merchant wants to convey here.


However, what I did not like about the commercial is that it’s only functional, but not attractive. I know that it’s so funny when she tries her best to keep her eyes open, but it’s frightening!!! What I expect is something more romantic, I love the Dove’s commercial which depicts chocolate as flowing brown waterfall. Moreover, if I were the customer, I would like to see more about its “objective parts”, such as its color and packages. I know that people’s taste of chocolate varies, so the woman’s appreciation to the chocolate does not necessarily applies to me.
