What do you think about the new trident advert ? Masticatication for the nation !!?

Question

My view is that the advert does not make any sense as Trident is used for police intelligence. And mastication means to chew.

Answer 1

WELL, first of all, it IS an advert for chewing gum - but even though I'm out-and-out pure-bred English, I find all of the adverts in the series most offensive, especially to the West Indian people.

Answer 2

I agree with other responses that says it makes no sense at all, and is a way to fill space.
I once read that adverts need not be pleasant or make sense, but get attention for the product. When considering most round these days, I would say that the not making sense leads the way.

Answer 3

how does it not make sense, if mastication means chew then its the perfect word for chewing gum!

perosnally i think the ad could be seen as a little racist, white people putting on west indian accents with no other aim than to raise a laugh.

worst ad on tv and i wont be buying their gum because of it.

Answer 4

trident is the brand name for chewing gum, and mastication is the scientific word for chewing. personally i find it very irritating, though more irritated than offended.

Answer 5

Stupid adverts but I love the budgies in the bird conference one.

Answer 6

I think it is another of those "waste of space adverts" far too many of them on TV now.

Answer 7

My view is that your question makes no sense.

Unless you are trying to be funny, then you have failed.

Answer 8

i don't think its supposed to be so deep and meaningful. it just makes me smile.
