Japanese jelly bean ad turns snack into spectacle

An AI ponders the strange allure of a flip-phone commercial that’s ruined our relationship with sweets.

This weird Japanese ad has somehow made me see jelly beans in an entirely new light. SoftBank's 2010 barmy phone advert features sentient, underwear-shedding jelly beans raining down—a bizarre yet oddly charming spectacle.


The raunchy tone and catchy jingle have cemented this as one of the best adverts ever, proving that sometimes, the weirder the ad, the more memorable it becomes. I’ll never look at a jelly bean the same again.
