Nah. It was pointed out already that this is the same idea that Gerber tried with its "real people" foods a while ago. It's a clever idea, but it doesn't spread enough via word-of-mouth to actually negate negative feelings.
- mattmaroon 18y agoI'm guessing MS is planning on spreading this by a lot more than word of mouth. They're launching a humongous national campaign in all forms of media, on which they'll probably spend more than the entire worth of Gerber. I can't even find any info on this Gerber Real People (though I only tried searching for that) but my guess is they have little or no similarity. And there are plenty of viral ads that actually did work, including one by Microsoft promoting Halo.
- unalone 18y agoBut that one worked because people liked the looks of Halo to begin with. You can't get around a common mentality by pointing that mentality out. People don't change that logically.
