DDB revives talking bread idea in ad for Arnott’s Cruskits

“Look at how cute I am”

John Ratzenburger, the American actor best known for his role as Cliff Clavin on Cheers, is the voice-over artist in a new ad for Arnott’s Cruskits.

In the ad, a talking piece of bread attempts to lure a woman away from eating Cruskits biscuits.

The creative agency that made the ad, DDB Sydney, also used the talking bread idea in an ad for Tip Top a year ago.

Ratzenburger also provided the voice of Hamm the piggy bank in Toy Story.

The campaign will run nationally on TV, outdoor, Facebook and digital.

DDB’s group creative director said in a press release: “We are very excited to have been able to create a big idea platform in ‘Carbs Don’t Fight Fair, Fight Back with Cruskits’. It’s such a powerful truth and has given us a great creative vehicle to execute against time and time again.”

Arnott’s, brand director-savoury, Rebecca Carson added: “It’s always great to collaborate with DDB and this campaign continues the tradition our partnership has created. We are thrilled to have landed a campaign idea that presents Cruskits as a true smartcut for women in such an engaging way”.
