Dentyne Ice -- Frog Ad: F

I hate this ad more and more every time I see it. I can't explain exactly why I hate it, but I do. A lot. I mostly hate the CGI prince and princess. And the fact that food and candy marketing experts think that this is the kind of worthless trash that will make me buy their product. Unfortunately, this is the exact kind of gum I chew. That fact makes me feel slightly ashamed. F.

The Hawk:
I like it and I chew it. The spot does a good job of showing the product, it has enjoyable music and excellent visuals (unless you hate the CGI prince, I guess!) that fit the overall "Ice" feel. B-.

Gum -- Carmen Electra

The Mouth:
Wait, so "whoa" was the word? Huh? Not even the hotness of Carmen Electra could save this terrible ad. Is there some rule about gum ads that they have to be corny and awful? Can someone please make a good fresh mouth gum ad? (well, Orbit might actually be doing this)

Here's how this should have went. Every fan who comes up to her has bad breath and gets their clock cleaned by the bodyguards in a different way; taser, running double-leg jump kick to the chest, A NET GUN! Then, one smart fan chews the gum before approaching; she says "whoa" and we cut to a scene of her and Emmanuelle Chriqui all oiled up, rolling around on a bed of mint gum tablets. Whoa. D-.

The Hawk:
One question and one question only: How does Ice Cube not get this contract? C- (only on the strength of Carmen being hot).
