Tums makes sure you'll never look at a corn dog the same way

Sometimes a man just wants to eat a corn dog and doesn't care what he looks like. And sometimes that corn dog slaps mustard all over his face as he stands there open-mouthed while his girlfriend covers the the eyes of the carnival teddy bear that he won for her.

This is the world presented by a new advertisement for Tums -- it ensures that you'll never look at a corn dog the same way again.


The corn dog ad is just in a series of spots about "food fighting you." An elderly woman loses her dentures as an egg roll works over her mouth. Chicken nuggets launch themselves at a man. And a hamburger repeatedly slaps a mom at a backyard barbecue. 

You might find the above spot funny or filthy; it's easy to take it either way. Although, I suspect that the intent was likely a combination of the two. You, Tums, have stolen my corn dog innocence. And sadly, unlike that carnival teddy bear, there was no one to cover my eyes when this spot came on the television.
