The English mustard brand [Coleman's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coleman-introduces) recently launched a new ad campaign to highlight the strength of its mustard. With the growing demand for [spicy and flavorful condiments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spicy-yellow-mustard), the new ads perfectly convey the fact that Coleman's brings the heat.

The [new TV and print campaign](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doritos-a-spicy-but-not-too-spicy-plumber) consists of several ads that show scenarios in which mustard fans have gone a bit too far with the condiment. In one ad, a father is seen gargling in a kiddie bowl after topping his hot dog with a bit too much of the condiment. The ad ends with the tongue-in-cheek tagline "Easy Does It."

The new campaign helps Coleman's revamp its brand identity for a new generation by focusing on the distinct heat of its product.
