The commercial that made me sob

When I watch TV I usually use commercial breaks to check my phone, go get a snack, or go to the bathroom. I would assume most people, like myself, rarely actually sit and watch the commercials. I did have a commercial catch my eye recently and the funny part is that I didn’t see it on TV, but chose to watch it online. I had been on Facebook and seen that a few of my friends had been sharing a link to a gum commercial that had been going ‘viral’ as one that would make you get a bit emotional. I was curious so I decided to watch it, and I am so glad I did! It was a commercial for Extra gum and it was the cutest commercial I have ever seen; it made me sob. I came away from the commercial with two thoughts 1) am I really crying over a gum commercial, and 2) I really want extra gum. The commercial was beautiful and set up like a movie. Thankfully I wasn’t the only one who cried, or I would seriously wonder about my emotional state. The video was all over twitter with people having the same thoughts about it I did. Good job to extra gum for marketing to the hopeless romantics and emotional people. They hit a home run on this one!
