Prediction: Unlikely to succeed
I liked this product when I first saw it and thought it had a real shot at success. Then it failed a Web test -- decisively. Then Telebrands tried it on TV, and it also failed.
Notably, the Telebrands creative was done by The Schwartz Grosup, the reigning champions of 'Food DR'. This creative is equally excellent. I particularly liked the rubber tire opening (a dash of on-point humor that's become a signature of this creative team) and the use of sound effects to reinforce the USP. However, it's apparent from the test before that even great creative from a great creative team isn't enough to get DRTV buyers interested in this one.
