Twizzlers Ice Dancing Ad (Proposed)

In this proposed ad for Twizzlers, ice dancers (let’s say the Shibutanis: my favorite ice dance team) would hold two strands of the candy Twizzlers are made out of from above (looking somewhat like the ribbon apparatus in rhythmic gymnastics, but dropped down into their hands from above) while doing twizzles (where they spin around in unison, usually with their arms and hands held up or out), and we’d see them spin together a pair of Twizzlers candies. (Obviously, this would have to be inserted through CGI onto their performance, and each of the pair would spin their own Twizzler from two strands held one in each hand as they spin.)

Then the announcer would say: “People have always wondered how Twizzlers are made. Well, this is how.”

I thought this would make for a fun ad for figure skating fans.

For those who don’t know, these are Twizzles (when ice dancing pairs spin next to each other in unison, with the same arm positions):


And this is the Shib Sibs in Boston this year winning their World Silver Medal (Their Twizzles start at 2:40 and end at about 2:54: Imagine red ribbons of Twizzler candy in their hands and watching it get spun into a final Twizzler.):


I mean, they are called Twizzlers, right?
