The thing about advertisements these days are that they’re not really meant to be catchy for people. They’re just made for the products to be marketed for the people just so they would buy them.

The thing about advertisements these days is that they're not really meant to be catchy for people. They're just made for the products to be marketed to people so they would buy them. But the one advertisement I want to talk about is that really random and unusual advertisement that showed a Skittles product, which is just a really colorful and sour candy. It was kind of popular back then, and it is still somewhat popular today. The one thing that caught my attention the most in that advertisement was that it was really not like all the other ones that I had seen recently. It really didn't hesitate to show something that may not be appropriate for most people but would still be catchy for kids, who are the main audience for this product. The first time I saw this advert was when I was a little kid watching TV with my parents. It was a long time ago, but I still remember the content of this advertisement. I think it was about a man with some kind of animal. As far as I remember, it was a giraffe completely covered with Skittles candies for some reason, and that man tried the Skittles candy and got covered with Skittles too, like glue or something. It was really random and unlike any other advertisements that tried to take a general approach of just showing their products. It really caught attention and forced kids to actually watch the TV because, at that time, I didn't really watch advertisements at all, but I really stayed to go through it and watch the whole advert. So that's why I think that advertisement was so great for my little mind, and that's why I remember it so well to this day.
