Ads for whiskey-infused chocolate featuring adorable “drunk” toddlers
Here’s an instance where you probably should take candy from a baby…
In this ad campaign, adorable images of seemingly drunk toddlers are used to sell chocolates infused with Jack Daniel’s.

Dislike.
Pfft. Dislike as well. You’re supposed to just rub the whiskey directly on their gums so they’ll shutup and go to sleep.
See now I add a few cap-fulls to their diaper for a time release effect.
Can’t that cause a person to relate alcohol to relief, which can cause problems in adulthood?
I think it’s hilarious. My kids look drunk or stoned in half the pictures I take anyway. :)
Dislike!
they are not really drunk, so everyone without a sense of humor go do a few shots of JD.
NOT FUNNY… a HUGE DISLIKE!
I dont know why everyone is so upset about this. The chocolate isn’t made for kids. The ad was made to be funny because its chocolate, and kids like chocolate, but it has whiskey in it. I thought it was funny
I agree. Also, I think the kids are adorable.
These kids aren’t drunk – relaaaaaxxxx.
I’m thinking the way they got these shots is they got the kids dressed in their outfits and let them fall asleep. Then they shot them as they woke up from their naps.
How do I know?
This is EXACTLY how I look after a Sunday afternoon nap.
Kids look like that all the time when they’re tired, or just for no reason at all. I thought it was hilarious and clever. Also, whiskey infused chocolates won’t get you drunk anyway.
I can certainly understand those who don’t like this ad, but I found it funny and quite clever.
I love the first one as he looks like he’s about to hiccup.. like the classic *hic* you get in any cartoon trying to get across that the character is drunk!
The 3rd one looks like he’s entering the “I want to have a meaningful conversation with you” stage of drunkenness >.<
If they don’t inherit the tendency hereditary, might as well induce it…
Brilliant work Dentsu South America ! :P
This is so Down (syndrome)
Obviously the toddlers aren’t really drunk. It’s the concept that’s bothersome. Fake drunk toddlers just isn’t funny to me. Just like I don’t think dead baby jokes are funny. Personal opinion.
A huge LIKE!
Good God, do none of y’all have a sense of humor? ITS FUNNY BECAUSE ITS NOT REAL. That’s the whole joke. But no, everyone has to get their panties in a wad and just comment “dislike”, as if they’re not capable of expressing themselves beyond one word.
Bite Me, that’s more than one word!
I don’t think this is a good advertisement. Gauging from the responses in the comment area it was not received well by most of the women. It succeed in only making the brand unpopular with the overwhelming majority of chocolate consumer.
Come on guys. You think he’d post this if they were actually drunk.
dislike whiskey in chocolate and humorless people. like sleepy kids.
Clever. The kids are cute as hell. Of course they’re not drunk. Ever try to shoot a toddler? They never stay put for a second, blinking just as you think you’ve captured them in the perfect candid shot. They aren’t drunk any more than you would let a kid eat such a high end chocolate. Kids eat garbage sugar and love it. And these kids are too young to eat candy like that anyway. This product is obviously made for adults to enjoy. Just as adults are able to enjoy funny pictures of their children that appear as though they’re drunk. Jeez- relax, have a drink, enjoy life. Go back and take a look at some old photos of yourself. You’ll get it.
