In | In 2004, Germany caffeine company ''K-fee'' released nine 20-second long television commercials as part of their ''Wide Awake'' campaign for their coffee drink. 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 simulate the effect that the product has on the viewer. | ||
The commercials consist of a peaceful scene, such as a auto driving down a grassy hillside to soothing music. However, at some point in the ad, the scene gets briefly interrupted by either a zombie or a gargoyle screaming at the camera, followed by the company's slogan and the product. | The commercials consist of a peaceful scene, such as a auto driving down a grassy hillside to soothing music.
