Air Freshener “Reek Havoc” Ad (Proposed)
A woman has invited friends over, but just prior to their arrival, she notices that there is a foul odor emanating from her cat’s litter box. So, pressed for time, she hurriedly looks around for a solution, finding some incense and scented candles. She tries furiously to get these all started, and tries to help waft the scent around the living room with her hands, causing her to accidentally knock over an end table with a lit candle that falls and catches the drapes on fire. This alarms her, so she grabs a glass of water to put out the fire, but it’s not enough, and then she furiously looks for a fire extinguisher, knocking over some more things, and finally emptying the fire extinguisher into the living room, trashing it completely. Then we see her friends arrive to the sight of a fire truck parked in her driveway, and our disheveled heroine sitting, flabbergasted, on her front doorstep. Then the announcer says: “Don’t let the reek of bad smells wreak havoc on your home. Use (whichever) air freshener!”
