A water main break sends H2O shooting skyward in a residential neighborhood. But it’s not that big a deal, particularly when utility workers deliver the news in sing-song fashion to the beat of the Avocados From Mexico jingle–along with offering the homeowner a bowl of guacamole.
After a taste of guac, a homeowner is not at all perturbed by the water main break. Rather she kind of likes it, observing that it reminds her of a Vegas water fountain show.
Indeed avocados make things better. That’s the comedic premise behind this Avocados from Mexico commercial, titled “Water Main,” directed by Brendan Gibbons of production house Station Film for agency LERMA.
