You know, a lot of people hate that commercial. I think it's stupid, too. But no more stupid than most other booze commercials. Still, you have a point. I mean, that woman looks like all it would take is one to knock her flat on her backside, so it's no wonder she's sucking ice. Meeeeoooowwww...

There's a booze ad that runs occasionally for a drink called Bacardi Limon, which features a bunch of stupidly beautiful people emerging from cars and sort of floating into some padded bar lit mostly by lava lamps. The visuals aren't too offensive, but the voiceover guy can't pass up an opportunity to savour the name of the product: "Bacardi [half-pause] Le-MOAN". So you sit there for thirty seconds watching beautiful folks smile at each other while the voice man coos out "Le-MOAN [half-pause] with vodka. Le-MOAN [half-pause] on ice. Le-MOAN [half-pause] [half-pause] Le-MMOANN". It isn't pleasant.

Actually, I'm not convinced Disaronna is a drink. It looks more like aftershave to me. Perhaps those people in the commercial don't realize they should be slapping it on their pusses instead of drinking it? It's a dessert topping! It's a floor cleaner!

Ewwww. That drink sounds really nasty, and I don't even know what it is. After I got done spraying cola through my nose in an effort to keep from laughing, I did it all over again reading palinode's comment about Bacardi Le-MOAN. ha ha!

i'm glad i'm not alone in my hatred for the disaranno commercial. i too am convinced it actually says "warm and sexual taste", which considering it plays at all times of the day is just pushes it into the category of farsical and ironic marketing.

I stumbled on your Disaronno observations and felt immediately thrilled and vindicated. I have hated that commercial since day one. The reason I found your post was because in a fit of rage after seeing that ad, I Googled the terms "Disaronno" "warm" and "sexual"...in a vain attempt to PROVE to my friend that the stupid announcer DOES in fact say "warm and sexual". I have always thought so-- and I think it's deliberate to get us to sit up and take notice. My husband agrees. And I have nightmares about that creepy assed bartender! Everyone in that rooms looks like he has bad breath. It's all so unsavory. I have never tried Disaronno and I never will thanks to that icky commercial.
