One’s
a dragon that breathes fire which burns things to a crisp, the other’s a singer
who uses her high pitched voice in order to get some crisps! Yes, Noddy, its
Chriiiiiiiistmas again and John Lewis have a rival for the 2019 season’s best
ad in the form of Walkers Crisps and yer actual Mariah Carey her very self.
Last year to have us in tears John Lewis teamed up with a big star, Elton John
, for an ad centred around a piano even though they don’t actually sell pianos.
This time though they’re back on more familiar ground while Walkers have
somehow managed to persuade Mariah to do an ad you sense just wouldn’t work
quite as well with their usual muse, Gary Lineker. And do you know what?
Walkers have nailed it with a frothy, funny ad that trounces John Lewis’ (sorry
John Lewis and Partners) (sorry John Lewis and Waitrose and their Partners)
somewhat mixed up offering.
