New York residents were shocked this week by the new ads released by the New York City health department, equating drinking soda with drinking FAT. That’s right; straight up ooey, gooey, yellowey, lardy, fat. If it sounds disgusting, oh just you wait ’til you see the actual commercial. Check out the nausea-inducing, fat slurping ad below.
Yum yum yum, right? Eh no, absolutely disgusting; but think about this:
I’ll be interested to see how effective this ad campaign really ends up being, how long it will take for the cola companies to lobby hard enough to shut it down, and if the sales of regular sodas are actually affected.
If you saw this commercial on TV, would it make you think twice about reaching for your regular cola?
How effective do you think this campaign will be?
Happy Snacking,

Lots of Good information in your blogpost, I favorited your site so I can visit again in the future, Thanks
I wish that the campaign was more truthful- showing how much sugar they are drinking. I think that the true educational factor about the amount of sugar would be more effective.
I can’t wait to see the results of this campaign. Maybe it will spread nationwide and we’ll see a drop in obesity rates. Wouldn’t that be nice?
Should we dare to dream??
Yuck! that is bad! The sodas are loaded with sugar!!
Yep! Lots of sugar and high-fructose corn syrup in soda that we do not need in our diets. Way to go New York!
i think these ads are very effective! you have to shock people to get them to think about what they’re putting in their bodies.
I totally agree – I love the shock factor!
Oh gross! I have seen these…they are horrifying. I hope they end up having an effect!
That must have had such a shock factor seeing them on TV. I hope they work too; I guess we will have to wait for the study to come out some time down the road!
WOW! thank god im not addicted to pop… I hope it works!
Amen sister!
