Interactive Candy-Crashing Ads

Help Tommy Smash Porcelain Figurines as He Hunts for Skittles

— July 1, 2013 — Marketing
Get involved in the latest Skittles commercial as we help Tommy smash the porcelain figurines in his grandma’s house in order to see which ones hold the delicious rainbow treats.

Sticking with the surreal scenarios that Skittles have been known to create in their memorable advertisements, this video features talking figurines that encourage you to send them crashing to the ground in order to find the secrets they hold within. Each one holds something different and through the use of YouTube annotations, the viewer gets to choose which one Tommy destroys next as our curiosity and sense of humor are tickled with every broken shard of pottery.

This Skittles ad knows that there is something incredibly satisfying about smashing tacky porcelain figurines on the ground in a grandma’s antiquated house.
