Mars Candy Wants You to Pleasure Yourself


Updated May 22 2009 - 5:46pm · Posted by · 15 comments


If you've seen the commercial for Mars' newest candy bar "The Fling," you probably thought you flipped to a racy movie. The ad makes it look like people are having sex in a bathroom, when in fact it's just a woman eating a candy bar in a dressing room. The commercial is so sexually charged that the voiceover even calls on women to pleasure themselves with the fingers (that's what they're calling candy bars these days). And if sexy talk and sparkly pink packaging wasn't enough to get women to buy the bars, Mars makes sure to mention that each finger only has 85 calories. Score!

I was listening to something about this on NPR the other day, and even the newscaster couldn't really manage to sound like she wasn't trying not to giggle. I think it's the "finger" part that really does it.

Oh, that's funny! Someone just made a post about this last week. Said it was the perfect thing to eat while reading Très Sugar!

I was expecting raunchy, but this was funny. Chocolate is a lot sexier than kidney transplants.

Why does the wrapper have to be pink to be marketed to women? I won't be buying this.

Oh wow that clip is amazing pistil! My boyfriend and I were just talking the other day about how adds have made it out to seem like only women enjoy desserts, and they can't get enough of them.
