Cheeky Holden ad - Dare Iced Coffee

Scott · 02-11-2010, 09:56 PM

Watcing TG tonight I saw a Holden ad with a green SS Ute going sideways and doing a handbrake turn...but hang on, there were a few flashes of Iced Coffee in there somewhere??

Very cheeky on Holdens part - bet my bottom dollar they funded that ad.

Their marketing department really is a cut above

Isn't it Ice Break?

They have a win a ute comp.

FPV8U · 02-11-2010, 10:04 PM

Does seem rather comical that an Ice Coffee add can have a ute side ways and givving it stick but an add for the actual car cannot.

Good add BTW.

Scott · 02-11-2010, 10:09 PM

lol, yes it was Ice Break. Seems all the branding time given to Holden didn't work to well for them in my instance ;)

You can win an SS ute by buying an Ice Break, been going on for 10years. The were recently showing the ad with the ute (VU SS) reversing at speed behind a truck loaded with ice break.
Love iced coffee but hate ice break.

Ford should team up with Farmer's Union for a competition!

Its an FUIC and a blown Coyote, or its nothing!

Iggypoppin' · 02-11-2010, 10:16 PM

Farmers union...
Ice break? Please, men drink Farmers union, girls drink ice break(and drive SS utes)
just stirring peoples!

**Falcon Coupe** · 02-11-2010, 10:18 PM

I have been trying to win an icebreak SS for ten years, have five caps ready to send in for the latest one.

I love my Farmers Union, especially since the new 750ml, but Ice Break is always a good replacement every now and then.

Yes....if that was a car ad it would have been off the air within a day or so of running. Clearly harold scruby isn't so concerned about 'unsafe driving' on display as long as its not one of those 'evil car selling companies' behind it. Worst double standard out there in advertising IMO.

Never been a big fan of the product and while the ad is fun enough like most ads i'm yet to work out what drifting a hairdresser's ute has to do with ice coffee....

sleek7 · 02-11-2010, 10:33 PM

Holden utes have been in the older ice break ads too. Remember the ad where they try to nick the ice break from the back of a moving truck with the SS ute going backwards at like 100km/h?....

FPV8U · 02-11-2010, 10:33 PM

Well they did fully load it, din't you see them drop the two drinks in the back..

Lukeyson · 02-11-2010, 10:35 PM

oh but ford have featured a ute in a coffee ad once too ... lol

Nothing like the bogan appeal of the ice break ads sadly

Remember back in '07, OAK had a limited edition anniversary flavour (sort of chocolate malt) and gave away a 1967 XR Falcon.

Mr Hardware · 03-11-2010, 12:25 AM

Yeah, interesting that they can show a car doing rooster tails but they can't show that on a car ad....

bungarra · 03-11-2010, 02:09 AM

Masters (National Foods) in Perth have the competition below going, don't normally drink Masters prefer Brownes, but any shot at a '64 Mustang is worth doing

Too bad I don't drink iced coffee, that's a hell of a prize!

Anybody else buy way too many Zingers when KFC had the win a ute competition not too long ago? I was determined to win or have a heart attack trying. Luckily the latter did not occur.

CODSASR · 03-11-2010, 02:33 AM

I live of KFC when they have that going they have one every year at bathurst time dont they?

I just wish they sold Farmer's Union over here in Perth, Everytime I go over to Adelaide or a Friends come over here, its a must they bring Farmer's Union. Though maybe Dare Ice Coffee and and Blown Coyote would be good

wrongwaynorris · 03-11-2010, 03:15 AM

What is second prize , 2 SS Commode utes ?

**Dave R** · 03-11-2010, 03:35 AM

So they allow an ad featuring V8 utes doing all kinds of illegal maneuvers whilst stealing from a moving truck, yet they banned the BMW ad where the Z4 was driving in circles with paint on its tyres because it was encouraging hooning.

The mind boggles

XR6_661 · 03-11-2010, 10:47 AM

I think it's an awesome ad!

Indeed.

What is a little more interesting (if I remember correctly) in the ad is that the Speedo reads Zero when they flash to it. The tacho is moving but the speedo is at zero so I guess they arent showing "speed" anymore. Though going backwards might have been a far greater issue...

Edit: Just got me thinking, does the speedo work when going backwards? I've never looked... hmmmm...

I saw an ad where they launched animals, people and bags of hoppes into the sky above a city with a huge catapult.

Immediately I was upset about this promotion of terrorism, climate change and general public access to medieval siege weaponry.

Just as well there was no reference to drinking beer.......

Australia was the only country in which that ad was banned. It was also shown in most of Europe, North America, and parts of South East Asia.

grandpa_spec_F6 · 03-11-2010, 12:17 PM

The more and more I hear about the PC police banning things, the more I want to get the hell out of Australia... but then I look at the alternative and things seem pretty damn peachy here in comparison.
