Description:


    This commercial features a selection of real Nature Sweet tomatoes in the produce section of a grocery store. The lights go down as the store closes, and the camera pans up to reveal a group of animated tomato characters in what looks like the emergency room of a hospi-tal. It is a scene of carnage. Scores of damaged tomatoes are being treated by a surgeon and some nurses. X-rays reveal that some of the tomatoes have internal injuries. The surgeon exclaims: “Don’t these people know you can’t tell what a tomato tastes like by squeezing it?” Another doctor is treating a character with a head contusion, who is barking like a dog. “Stop the abuse,” says the title. “It’s easy to pick a tomato that tastes home grown. Just pick Nature Sweet.”
