Instead of specifically focusing on flavor, the humorous campaign visualizes situations where teens are guided through awkward situations by sage advice from a new character called the "Tanguru," who provides quick thinking to reverse predicaments that could otherwise turn disastrous. In the case of 'Text Message,' a risqué text message that's mistakenly sent to a parent is rapidly turned into a thoughtful suggestion for dinner.
