As someone interested in pushing things to the next level, I've figured out a way to make those Ho-Hos snacks become the next hot commodity for this year. Hostess, if you're listening, you MAY take my idea freely. However, know that I've got a million more, and I could be a wonderful resource for your marketing campaigns (that goes for any other company that happens to stumble upon this blog).
The write-up for the ultimate commercial will begin after the picture.
A young, hip man walks through an every day grocery store in his casual, yet trendy, clothes. He's looking for a bite to eat, jonesing for something to munch on. Considering he's physically fit, sugar and high fructose corn syrup are of no concern. In fact, this guy deserves a treat. Maybe he's a little sweaty from working outside in the hot, Summer weather?
He snags a box of Hostess Ho Hos from the snack aisle and walks toward the check out counter. The most beautiful, blonde, big-bosomed, late teenaged babe is standing there, watching his approach. She's the perfect embodiment of poetic beautiful, and this young man can't help but smile.
Box is placed onto the checkout counter, and a voice narrates a few lines. It has to be a deeper voice, something stern and strong. MANLY. I recommend Sam Elliot. He has those gritty, hardened and commanding vocals that could sell just about anything.
SAM ELLIOT: When you've got a hunger, and you're looking for a good time, grab some Ho Hos.
The girl's delicate fingers gracefully wrap around the box of snacks and slide them over the scanner. As she does so, her eyes look up from the Hostess product and stare into the young man's. A slight eyebrow is raised from her as she smiles. Feeling the energy, he grins back, following her as she walks from around the counter.
The clerk is before the customer now, and she's kneeling ever-so-carefully, not breaking eye contact. The sound of pants being unzipped is the last note heard as the screen fades to black. This is where the logo can be placed before the commercial ends.
