Squirrel Hero!

Although I don't like the taste of fresh breath-mints (they just tast too minty for me), mints seem to give superpowers to little squirrels....

We saw just a sneak peek of this Vigorsol ad while we were watching football on tv (the Squadra azzura against...some other national team) and an injured player had to be carried off the field (apparently the Italian tv uses this moments to advertise...).

Because our knowledge of the Italian language does not consist of more than proper greetings, asking where we can find the toilet and ordering bread, pizza, pasta or gelati, we didn't really understand what was told while we saw the squirrel doing really heroic things. Showing only the last part (where the squirrel runs to the end of the branch and shows his superpowers) didn't really help us either....

Luckily things like YouTube exist and their even seemed to be an English version of the ad....

After a quick search on the net we found that the brave squirrel, a.k.a. Cippi, even has a website where you can not only watch and download the ad, but you can also play some games and download a screensaver and a wallpaper.

I might have to rethink my opinion about mints and put some of them in my handbag... You never know what you can find on your way...
