I recently saw this Orangina advert, and I have to say, never in my life have I seen an advert which made me want to avoid a product that I'd previously bought. This article made it slightly more clear what the point of the advert is (a play on the french word 'pulpeuse' which can mean both 'contains pulp' but also 'sexy' or 'voluptuous'), but apart from that, I think of it as intensely creepy and disturbing. When it's on television, I can't turn away and watch it horrified like I've just seen a terrible car accident. Is it an interesting and different advert which has sparked controversy and has people talking about it? Yes. Will I buy Orangina because of it? Absolutely not.
When the print ads for this first started appearing in the Metro stations in Paris I didn't get them AT ALL. I'm so glad you've just explained the play on words for me. I agree though, still creepy and weird.
I was surprised you'd seen this on TV, but I'm guessing it wasn't in the U.S. that you saw it.
Hello! I'm Michelle. I'm 26 years old. I am an American who has lived in England for the past 8 years. I met my husband on the Internet and married at 18. We're still happily married and have two beautiful boys, Elliot and Joshua.
I love to read and discuss books, talk about my children, reminisce about 'home', write lists, work through my childhood issues. I'm currently reading through the list of 1001 Books to Read Before You Die and have recently gone back to university to study psychology.
I've been known to use a lot of parentheses, let blogging take over my life, obsess over the little things and take too many photos of my gorgeous boys.
Fluttering Butterflies is a work of love and I try to make it a true reflection of me as a person. Hope you stay awhile.

Wow. That was intense, and disturbing, who knew jungle animals could make me feel that way?
