THE SPOT
"Fruitensity" (:30/:15) introduces Jolly Rancher Gel Snacks. A live-action teen eats the snack and is transformed into a photo-collaged animated character who skateboards through different watermelon landscapes. He meets up with a wrestler in front of a watermelon circus, and cruises through watermelon mountains and blue skies. A kid with a boombox meets the skateboarder in his travels as he careens off a watermelon ramp and bounces into a giant vat of Jolly Rancher Gel.
