In anticipation of the roaring 2020s and post-pandemic life, EXTRA Gum recently debuted a new 'Chew It Before You Do It' campaign. The new marketing scheme is described as "an ode to taking a moment to chew a piece of gum before doing, saying, or acting in order to help ensure smooth sailing over potentially cringey moments this holiday season when people’s social skills may be rusty after an atypical season last year."
The Chew It Before You Do It campaign features a hilarious 60-second commercial that lightheartedly points ou that "chewing" some over can make a big difference.
As part of the campaign, EXTRA® Gum is releasing limited time only "Chew Before You Do" buttons, which comes with a pack of EXTRA inside
