The fans of the San Francisco 49ers who were disappointed to see their team lose the Super Bowl a few weeks ago now have something to smile about thanks to this Jell-O commercial.
When most people think of a Jell-O commercial, they think of the iconic ads featuring Bill Cosby. This one isn’t quite as timeless, mostly because it is decidedly timely. This commercial is designed for a specific demographic (football fans) in a specific city (San Francisco) during a specific time (post Super Bowl.)
The Jell-O commercial features an executive congratulating San Francisco on their Super Bowl loss. He assures them Jell-O is here to help and packs a plane full of Jell-O pudding to be given out for free in San Francisco.
