tend to get a little too comfortable with that thought and take advantage of them. I enjoyed how relatable the scenarios in the ad felt and how quickly the storyline was established.

The idea of being dictated to about what I should and should not wear escapes me. This feeling trickles down to ads related to the same industry. Most seem forced and others, downright strange. Which is why when I heard the words “be real with me” in this ad, they immediately grabbed my attention. The pace and the quirky storyline not only kept me hooked, it ensured that I watched the video at least five times.</p> <p><strong>Agency:</strong> String Media, Pakistan</p> <hr/> <h1 id="5ca83eb91de4f">Sprite – Pehle Bharkaye Phir Bujhaye</h1> <figure class="media one-whole palm--one-whole media--stretch media--embed "> <div class="media__item media__item--youtube "><iframe src="https://web.archive.org/web/20200919021851if_/https://www.youtube.com/embed/kz_dd5e0cyU?enablejsapi=1&showinfo=0&rel=0" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" width="100%" height="100%"></iframe></div> </figure> <p> </p> <p><strong>Category:</strong> TV</p> <p>As someone who has exactly the same reaction as the ‘burger’ lady when biting on an unexpected chilli, I could relate to and really enjoy the TVC.
