Don’t Sip on Campfires!

Ads can be very weird. I’m having trouble deciding whether this one is good:

Starbucks Frappuccino Facebook Sponsored Post
“Introducing this summer’s new Frappuccino flavor: S’mores! Now you can sip on all the flavor of a campfire, which you shouldn’t sip, because that’s dangerous.”

At least I’m talking about the ad — that’s a positive sign, right? And I’m not the only one. When I took this screenshot, four thousand people had commented on the picture.

What I find confusing is that the humorously nonsensical caption doesn’t quite relate to the picture. There’s a tenuous woodsy/camping connection, but I don’t get the story. Is the yeti grumpy because he tried to sip on a campfire? But now he’s soothed by a s’mores-flavored Frappuccino?

If you can explain this ad, hit me up on Facebook or Twitter. Or heck, just email me: sonyaellenmann@gmail.com.
