[[File:K-fee_auto.jpg|thumb|A screenshot from the K-fee auto commercial.|200x200px]]In 2002, Germany caffeine company K-fee made some controversial adverts for their coffee drink. <span>These adverts have been heavily criticized for their content and many feel that the advert is very uncommercial and upsetting, though its shocking visual is built to energize the viewers and keep them alert. The K-fee company received a lot of complaints about viewers getting heart attacks and young children getting startled. Soon after that, the ads stopped being aired on TV. On some occasions, a warning message is displayed before the advert plays, informing any young children, individuals who are easily scared and people with heart conditions or autism to not view the footage. When this is not shown, it leaves any individual to be deceived.</span> | [[File:K-fee_auto.jpg|thumb|A screenshot from the K-fee auto commercial.|200x200px]]In 2002, Germany caffeine company K-fee made some controversial adverts for their coffee drink. <span>These adverts have been heavily criticized for their content and many feel that the advert is very uncommercial and upsetting, though its shocking visual is built to energize the viewers and keep them alert.

<span>In January 2006, K-fee released new commercials for their line of Latte macchiato drinks that parodied their own prank flash-style commercials. Using the footage from three of K-fee's most popular commercials (Auto, Beach, and Golf), the company replaced the frightening image of a zombie or gargoyle at the end of the ad with a man in ordinary clothes, a man in a Halloween mask, or a man in a bear mascot costume appearing slowly and saying "boo" or "bwa-ha-ha", followed by the text "Jetzt auch mit weniger Koffein" (which translates as "Now also with less caffeine") and an image of a Latte Macchiato bottle.</span> | <span>In January 2006, K-fee released new commercials for their line of Latte macchiato drinks that parodied their own prank flash-style commercials.
