Daily Soup, Park Bench
Set in New York's Central Park, the commercial starts off with audio from an answering machine message: "So, today's the day for the blind date. I'll meet you on the park bench at noon. Okay, bye."
An attractive woman with long, wavy hair sits down on the bench and then, two men simultaneously sit down on either side of her -- a good looking, preppy guy and a nerdy man in glasses. The preppy guy is clearly looking around for someone and, just as she's about to introduce herself, another man walks up to him and says, "Hey, what's up, baby?"
The preppy guy stands as the other man -- muscular, with tattoos and a shaved head -- firmly squeezes the preppy's butt and plants a big kiss on his lips as they walk away. The muscle man adds, "Damn, you look good today!"
The woman looks onto this with confusion and disappointed surprise.
Collecting herself, she accepts that maybe it is the nerd whom she's meeting. She turns to him and introduces herself as he's met by two sexy women, one of whom also squeezes his butt.
She has another look of disbelief on her face and, at that moment, a mugger runs up and grabs her purse.
She chases after him as the commercial closes with the tagline: "Every day's an adventure."
This gay-inclusive ad is outrageous and over the top. It comes from a small retail soup chain that sought to make a mark for itself with alternative-type people who would appreciate it.
