Aldi pastiches Fairy Liquid to promote dishwashing liquid with man with soft hands
Aldi has pastiched the classic British Fairy Liquid ads based around how soft they keep your hands in a spot featuring an older man comparing two detergents saying “they’re both extremely gentle on my hands”.
Created by BMF, the spot is the ninth in the ‘Like Like’ series which launched in June with an ad featuring a talking bear to sell toilet paper.

It was followed up by an ad featuring a man in a white coat selling laundry powder. In July the brand followed it up with a spot featuring an injured mouse to promote cheese and in September Aldi promoted bread and olive oil with two ads featuring a woman who has never tried crusts prove the wives tale that eating crusts will give you curly hair and an ad with two men washed up on a beach talk about the product before saying “Now all I need is something to cook”.

Not bad, but how did it get past the suits with such distance from, and so little time on, the pack shot? :o)
