First thread here, sorry if it's already been done. But I searched and didn't find anything, sooo...
 
Has anyone seen Ferrero Rocher's most recent commercial? I can't find it on YouTube, but it's basically just a bunch of shots of some people who I guess are supposed to be gods, floating around looking decadent and eating Ferrero Rocher, while a voiceover tells us how this amazing candy was the exclusive delicacy of the gods until they decided to be kind and share it with us mere mortals. Now, don't get me wrong - Ferrero Rocher is some damn good chocolate - but I'd hardly call it godly chocolate, and it seems awfully pretentious to make a commercial just to tell us that not only is your chocolate good, it's actually holy. As if we should feel privileged to eat it or something, because it's a blessing from this culturally-ambiguous assortment of "gods."
 
Like I said, I do enjoy Ferrero Rocher. But it falls somewhat short of a religious experience.

All of these commercials drive me crazy.  It's like they're pretending that this candy isn't sold in the checkout line, next to the Kit-Kats and across from the lighters.

This is the only chocolate on the planet that even approaches godliness.

I dutifully clicked over to the Daffin's website and was greeted with a picture of a 5- or 6-year old girl whose entire face had been smeared with sh*t-brown chocolate. Sigh.

Is there a "websites I hate" section on here?

I swear to the Rocher gods, I'll never understand where people got the impression that everyone thinks children are adorable. If there's anything I loathe on this muddy ball more than hippies, it would only be children. To quote Yahtzee, "Given three wishes, I'd ask for a puppy, a decent chip sandwich, and for every child-bearing womb on the planet to pop out and fly away like a cheery parade of greasy red balloons."

Go to hell, Daffin's, and take your sickening moppet with you.

Yatzee is kind of funny... Plus he has a British accent which makes him more hilarious somehow.
Some kids are cute.
I do love that double chocolate Rocher. I should ge some of that... But I'd have to spend money, but it's really delicious as chocolate really just needs more chocolate.

I was thinking the exact same thing. They're touting this as some glorious, orgasmic, one of a kind chocolate, when you can find it in the checkout line. How much better can it be than other chocolates out there if it is sold in the checkout line?

God willing. If you pray to any particular deity, I'd appreciate it if you threw in a mention to that effect. I don't want to suffer with them either.

It is very good candy, though.

Just wait until next month or so when we'll be seeing a lot more commercials for this chocolate; they usually advertise for Christmas.

While I don't absolutely loathe kids as much as you do, (I actually strongly think that I would dislike every child except my own) I have to agree. There's a billion pages on that website of kids with chocolate smeared all over their faces and fingers or all over their teeth. Gross.

And this commercial is pretty damn pretentious.

One might think this group is out to give Ghiradelli or Godiva Chocolates a run for their money with this current series of commercials...now their candy is tasty, but at a $1.29 for a 3-pak, just too pricey.

If you've never had real Swiss chocolate you've never had really good chocolate.
 
Bavarian chocolate is very close.

We went through the Scharffen Berger chocolate factory in Berkeley a few years ago.

That was a real treat and the dark stuff was decadent.

What I get a kick out of is the older stupid "chocolate of the gods" one is when Apollo or whoever, shoots the chocolate pile and "oops!" one falls to ground and the business man WALKING IN THE DESERT has one fall on him and he thinks, "hey this shiny ball that I have never seen before fell from the sky, I shall eat it!"

I love how companies make names of their products like ferrero rondnoir where NOONE could pronounce it correctly unless they heard it said 1000x.
