A gamer is seated on the couch, transfixed on a video game. He tells his roommate, who’s just come home from work, that a package came for him. The roomie doesn’t look too pleased that the box–a delivery order from Frys.com (the online site of regional retailer Fry’s Electronics)–has been opened, but a smile comes to his face when he looks at the contents. He then exits out of sight into the adjoining room. Suddenly all the power goes out and a bright light flashes. The roommate disappears. Turns out the component from Frys.com was the missing piece to a time travel machine. An end tag identifies the sponsor, Frys.com, accompanied by the slogan, “Welcome home, tech heads.”

Ad Council, ONDCP, Strawberry Frog, Director Haya Waseem Team To Combat Opioid Overdoses
Developed as part of the Ad Council’s partnership with the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) and created pro bono by agency StrawberryFrog, this public service campaign underscores the vital role young people can play in reversing opioid overdoses by carrying naloxone (often branded as Narcan or ReVive).
Directed by Haya Waseem via production company Object & Animal, this “It’s Gotta Be You” PSA shows how a girl answers the call to help save another young person.
Raising awareness of opioid overdose reversal medications like naloxone is a critical way to empower young adults to save lives, as the presence of fentanyl in illicit drugs and in counterfeit pills continues to put countless lives at risk nationwide. Naloxone is available without a prescription in all 50 states and territories and can reverse an opioid overdose.
