A teenage couple rides in a taxi together. The boyfriend takes out a pack of Dentyne Frost Bites Gum, gives his lady friend a piece and then shoves a handful into his own mouth. His head then freezes. He whimpers a little, drawing the cab drivers attention, who sees his frozen head, screams and begins to swerve and drive erratically. The swerving causes the frozen head to fall off onto the girlfriend’s lap. The cab stops and the driver and girlfriend continue to scream as the head looks around panicked and confused. The screen then shows a pack of the gum and the commercial closes with the warning of an announcer about this “Small but powerful gum.”
