> I thought about that - do we actually see the hot chick lick the ice cube - or the floating people actually swallow? - no. the camera cuts just before. watch again. I could be wrong and I’ll watch, too. But I’m pretty sure I’m right. Just like with the Bailey’s “sense of adventure” one where the guy is holding the bottle over the gal’s head so the little droplet will land in her mouth - only to be intercepted by another guy’s glass

I don’t know about the floating people–haven’t seen that one–but I just saw the one for DiSarronno (sp?), and no, you don’t actually _see_ her put the ice cube into her mouth. Just as she gets close, the camera cuts away–but they let you see just enough to get the blow job reference.

Those Bailey’s commercials and the DiSaronno (I can’t be bothered to look up the spelling either 😃 ) commercials must be made by the same people - they’re both extremely lame in the same ways.

“DiSaronno - it’ll get you laid!” See?

That’s the one I was squicking on above. She does put the ice-cube in her mouth, for sure. I notice that because it always make me think it’s a desperation thirst quencher in a bar where, in addition to every drink being based around a cloying liqueur, the patrons aren’t allowed to drink them anyway.
