After 'The Gift That Gives Back' by Peloton went viral, Ryan Reynolds' Aviation Gin quickly released a spoof advertisement called 'The Gift That Doesn't Give Back' that's also attracting a lot of attention—especially as it features the same actress from the Peloton ad.

The Aviation Gin advertisement features a cluster of friends sitting at a bar, who reassure the woman that she's safe and toast to "new beginnings." The woman describes the gin martini she's enjoying as smooth and she quickly downs her drink, followed by another shared by her friend.

The ad from Aviation Gin was created just days after the release of the original, and shared to social media by Reynolds, who posted the ad and stated: "Exercise bike not included."
