Whenever I am on Youtube, it seems there is always an advertisement before the video I want to watch. And almost every time, the ad is not worth my time. So naturally I mute the volume, and go on doing something else that is worth a minute and thirty seconds of my life. But today while I was about to listen to one of my favorite house songs on youtube, and ad came up that I actually stopped and listened to. It was for Orabrush. It is a brush that is built differently than a tooth brush and a tongue scrapper. It brushes and scraps all the bacterica from the back of your tongue that causes 90 percent of bad breath. Now the commercial looks very rough, like it was just shot from a HD camcorder, but the message, copy, and humor where enough to keep me watching the video, and not care about the low-budget production. I was so intrigued after watching this product, partially because it made me feel like I had bad breath, that I went to their youtube page and watched their other videos. I then saw a banner saying "get your first ora brush free." Now we all know it wasn't free, but all I had to do is become a fan of Orabrush on facebook, and only pay 3.99 for s/h. I saved 8 bucks, and for those of you who know me I really didn't care about that, I am just happy I can scrape bacteria off my tongue now. All in all, you know you have a good ad when it makes the consumer stop and go buy the product. Thank you Orabrush for making me buy something else I really dont need, and thank you advertising for making that possible.
I think of this video often now when I brush my teeth, it's weird. Something about it totally sticks! I think everyone loves learning, especially cheap tricks like the breath test. I think I like it so much because in a funny way, it reminds me of Bill Nye the Science Guy for some reason.. the quirks and approachable personality. Nice post! (slammer):]
