Nic Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 It has been on a while but that advert for Orange the siamese tictac advert gets right on my nerves. You remember the advert, the name of the company and you're talking about it on a public forum to hundreds of people. I'd say that was a marketing job well done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say that was a marketing job well done Totally agree, however yes I am talking about it, but as for marketing on this occassion there is a massive negative impact, is an advert not meant to inspire you to go out and buy the companies products?

leelbuk Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 I work for Orange and they have given everyone a minature 'siamese tictac' phone strap but everyone here talks about it and agrees its annoying but it certainly does stick and you knows its Orange! Definately not as good as the Orange 'switch off your mobile' adverts in cinemas! That steven seagal one LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 I like them too. I do worry though that they'll be alright when the showbiz circus has moved on. When the cameras have stopped rolling and the lights have gone out will they be okay or kicked up and down the country by people prejudiced against Siamese Tic-Tac people. Can I adopt them?

Its funny you said that, i was just wondering about the long term prospects these guys face.

colsoop Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Yes you can adopt them send your cash or cheques to me and i will make sure they live a full and happy life. They will be among other cast offs from the advert world the likes of Tony the tiger and the come on puppets from the Vauxhall adverts.

Charlotte Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 They are a true representation of love. I mean, I know Mike and I often walk down the road like that. What I want to know is, can I buy them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Charlie They are not a commodity to be bought and sold! Slavery was abolished years ago! If you were to 'obtain' them, what would you do with them? Actually, dont answer that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juanchan Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 It's the music of the ad that annoys me the most. But as Nic says, if you remember what is being advertised, job done on their part Speaking of Tony the Tiger, that "They're gonna taste great" kid will look back one day and think "why, oh why did I do that?"

If you were to 'obtain' them, what would you do with them? Actually, dont answer that I would give them a good home. Oh also I'd wind them up and watch them walking around. I have a pet rabbit which I do the same with, maybe they could all become friends. Hell, I might even knit them some clothes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
