This ad piqued my interest in the specific articulation (velar pinch?) and it's origin or the region i.e. where the speaker, who is typically American, enunciates words ending in '-ing' as '-een' e.g. talk-een, think-een etc. I have since surmised, that it can be largely attributed to California, Texas, the surrounding South-West and rather surprsingly - Chicago! It is known as 'Chicano' English.
I would be more than happy to be corrected.
