Chantix “Ice Skating Turkey”
In his latest commercial, the Chantix Turkey, who dresses as if equipped from the Eddie Bauer catalogue, heads downtown and enjoys a variety of colder-weather activities. He ice skates but isn’t overly good at it, falling onto his feathered behind. Who can then blame him for warming his tail feathers by a convenient fire? In the city, the turkey also is seen emerging from a store, buying a soft pretzel to which he liberally applies mustard, and going to a newsstand. After such a full day, the turkey rides a bus home, clicking his heels upon entering it in jubilation that he has finally kicked his smoking habit “slow turkey.”
This commercial is notable in that we are shown other living creatures in the world which the turkey inhabits, and they both at the pretzel vendor and newsstand also appear to be turkeys! This doesn’t appear to be a Zootopia type scenario with a variety of different animal species, but rather just other anthropomorphic turkeys. Evolution has then followed a strange path here, although human vices like smoking still exist. There’s gotta be a comic Twilight Zone episode here…
That’s right…it’s a fowl world! But then again, you already knew that. Just someone tell me how the turkey’s feet fit in those clunky hiking boots he seems to favor wearing. And I think that I could kill for a good hot soft pretzel right about now, wouldn’t you? Soft pretzels…Mmmm!

Perhaps he slides them in while wearing…
…turk-ish slippers. 😉

Not to be confused with banana slippers!

Those have never had very big public “a-peel.”
