Just Gillette cashing in on a current trend.

I think itās a clever extension of their existing marketing. The first time you shave is a kind of memorable moment in growing up, so they are an appropriate brand to be trying to give that message of behaviour, certainly more than other brands youād start using as a teenager - like if Lynx tried to put out an ad like this.
Certainly not worthy of any backlash - the ad itself acknowledges good guys for the ānot all menā crowd.

Doesnāt surprise me if most of the whiners havenāt actually watched the ad.
The ad itself isnāt particularly mind-blowing, if it was released a decade ago it wouldāve came and went without such a huge fuss.

Mrs Frankie came home today with a pack of Bertie Beetle ice creams. We were most excited and had one after lunch. Quite a tasty treat.
Interestingly, the brand is still owned by Nestle and the ice cream made under license by Peters. For those unfamiliar with Bertieās origin, they were developed by Hoadleyās ( later sold to Rowntree before Nestle) to use up scraps of Violet Crumble which was recently sold to Roben Menz in South Australia.
The latest Lamb ad.

Brownes are doing retro cartons to celebrate 25 years! Iāve only seen a Coffee Chill version so far.
This design dates back at least 19 years going by this commercial from 2000:

Saw some new Tim Tams in Woolies today.
From memory there was choc malt with sticky caramel, dark? choc with sticky raspberry, and a third one.
If it wasnāt for the fact that Iām watching my sugar intake (and kicking arse too BTW), Iād be all over that.
I agree! I feel the older look makes the product look premium and classic.
