Change can be good, but when it's a case of messing with perfection, the old adage of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" normally springs to mind.
However, to announce a seismic (i.e. super-sweet) change to its legendary Peanut Butter Cups, Reese's has fully leaned into the outrage; creating a spot which the brand hopes most audiences will greet with a resounding YES!.
Having teased the update in two terrific spots, the campaign's hero piece sees a collective of seven choccy-fans each dealing with a Will Arnett-delivered rollercoaster of information, responding in the most extreme of ways.
Proving endlessly watchable, even if you to see the Granny spit-take again, the film from Erich & Kallman and dummy.'s Harold Einstein utilises the very best of both agency and director; combining slapstick and shocks with staggering insight to create a Big Game big hitter.
