These eye-catching ads for the Reach toothbrush feature melancholy pieces of chicken, corn and [pineapple](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pineapple-sorbet-toothpaste) that are now looking for a new home because of the toothbrush's ability to get rid of every single piece of food that may get caught between your teeth.

I think I may not brush my teeth the next time I have a [chicken burger](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/burger-kings-new-campaign) just to avoid seeing the sad expression on that poor chicken’s face.

The Reach toothbrush ads were created by [advertising agency JWT](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/believe-campaign), Dubai, UAE. The executive creative director is Chafic Haddad with senior art direction by SM Ziyad. The wonderful illustrations were drawn by Svetlio Belivanov with copywriting by Zahir Mirza.
