Eat this candy, not the plane-crash survivor

Back in April, we posted some Swedish Fish print ads from JWT with the tagline, "A friend you can eat." Here are three TV commercials from the same campaign. They try a little hard to be hip and offbeat, but the spot above, with the proverbial hungry plane-crash survivors on the snowy mountaintop, is amusing—perhaps the best cannibalism-themed ad since this skin-care one. In other cannibalism news, the Monday after Thanksgiving is probably as good a time as any to ask yourself: "How many cannibals could my body feed?"

Just say 'nej' to warm, syrupy bunny waffle

If you need a nice Friday pick-me-up, and LOLcats just won't do the trick anymore, try these ads for Swedish Fish from JWT New York. (Tagline: “A friend you can eat.”) I’m sure this cautionary message about bunny waffles will help the ghost of Oolong rest in peace. Check out four more executions after the jump. Via Ads of the World.
