Haven’t seen it yet

I love Kevin Grin

#savekevin.

TheDayMyButtWentPsycho · 03/11/2018 21:49

I thought that.

I genuinely thought it was a coke advert.

Omg it's just come on as I type!

magoria · 03/11/2018 22:11

Same here. Was like wow that is a bit of a rip off.

Love it though.

TurkeyBear · 03/11/2018 22:14

#savekevin the Aldi ads are getting better every year.

John Lewis better be good after last years crap one too, and the guilt trip oap one Hmm

SaveKevin · 03/11/2018 22:15

It’s brilliant. I don’t know how they get away with half their brand stuff anyway so it just seems fitting to have a knock off ad as well

and a great idea for a name change

Cheeeeislifenow · 03/11/2018 22:21

I love the way their hunky dory's are called okey dokey's.. and their penguin bars are called seal bars! Grin

Slightly off topic but is anyone actually influenced in their Christmas spending by these very expensive adverts? We've been hearing all year how stores like John Lewis, Debenhams and M and S are struggling yet they produce these adverts for about a 2 month period.

TheDayMyButtWentPsycho · 03/11/2018 22:42

I mean, I really want some coke now. But I don't mind which shop I get it from.

So yes, and no.

WhyAmISoCold · 03/11/2018 22:44

Thought the same. It's blatantly obvious it's meant to look like the coke truck.

DrMadelineMaxwell · 03/11/2018 22:45

Surely it's a win for coke too... the ad makes you think of their Christmas advert and their product but they didn't have to pay to make it or pay for airtime.

WontonSoupForTheSoul · 03/11/2018 22:47

I’m wondering if it’s some kind of Coke/Kevin crossover, based on these tweets?

Well, they’ll also be paying royalties to Banksy too 🤷🏼‍♀️

mumsastudent · 03/11/2018 22:52

Ah no wonder the Keven the carrot crashed he was on coke! :)

How was the OAP one a guilt trip? I just thought it was weird. How the fuck did he end up on the moon?

mumsastudent · 03/11/2018 22:54

sorry (did I mention I am dyslexic - I am actually!) Kevin

KevinTheCarrot · 03/11/2018 22:54

What?

Valanice1989 · 03/11/2018 22:56

I suppose the advert is good publicity for the Coca Cola company as well, because people see it and think of their product.

Valanice1989 · 03/11/2018 22:57

^ And now I see DrMadelineMaxwell already pointed that out before me [embarrassed]

Notquiteagandt · 03/11/2018 23:07

Kevin driving a truck full of carrots to slaughter seems sadistic 1😂

Tbf though got everyone talking about aldi and coke. So win win. Job done for both parties.

Witchesbritches · 03/11/2018 23:19

Christmas Ad? Seriously? It’s barely November.

princesstiasmum · 03/11/2018 23:19

Just reading this thread and the Aldi ad has just come on, never really took much notice of it before

HelenaDove · 03/11/2018 23:32

I think Aldi have played a blinder keeping these carrot characters in their Christmas ad each year.

John Lewis missed a trick by not doing this with the Mr and Mrs Snowman characters from a few years back.

HelenaDove · 03/11/2018 23:34

i spotted the ad last night.
