Friends don’t let friends walk through life with food stuck between their teeth. If you feel uncomfortable about telling your friends about the huge piece of spinach, lettuce, parsley or unrecognizable food stuck between their teeth, there is a social media solution where you can just embarrass them anonymously. UNION and Colgate-Palmolive created “There's Something in Your Tweet,” a Twitter campaign that promotes the Colgate* Slim Soft toothbrush in Canada while anonymously alerting people to food stuck in their teeth. Personally, I’d rather have my friend tell me in person, rather …

Random App of the week: American Family Insurance created the "Ask Russell" app, a voice-activated app that lets users “chat” with  pro football player Russell Wilson. “Ask Russell” is powered by the Google Voice Search API. Similar to Apple’s Siri, users ask questions into their mobile devices -- but instead of sending a voice response back, “Ask Russell” features close to 50 video clips. The app follows a “choose-your-own-adventure” structure, enabling fans to select hundreds of possibilities, including some Easter eggs. The app, created by Ogilvy Chicago, is available for free in …

Firstbank sticks with the quirky ads in its latest campaign, although it shifts its emphasis from “less stressful” to “faster,” when it comes to “Mortgages Made Easy.” Since Firstbank does the heavy lifting, people find themselves with an unusual amount of free time on their hands. In a TV spot, one co-worker has so much free time that he spends it recreating war scenes, ala “Braveheart.” Embarrassed, the man tells his co-worker he plays golf. See it here. Print ads offer helpful advice like how to make banana bread, play dominoes, …

DDB Chicago launched a 15-second TV spot for Skittles that will change the way you think of a toothless grin. In “Smile,” two teenage girls wonder why their classmate Louis never smiles. One gal sneaks up behind Louis and tickles him, causing a smile to appear. And this isn’t just any smile; Louis’ teeth are made of Skittles. Seizing the day, the girl goes in for a big kiss and grabs a mouthful of Skittles, leaving Louis with one orange tooth. I’m not surprised -- orange is my least favorite Skittles flavor, …

Big Red is having a great time creating nonsensical ads for its popular red soda. Last month, the brand created a faux ad that combined BBQ and Big Red in one bottle. Now, the brand is paying homage to the early '90s: specifically, the decade's air pump sneakers. The ad shows a group of adults breakdancing and grabbing a sip of Big Red, only to find the soda is flat. No worries. Just three squeezes on the bottle’s circular pump will bring the soda back to life. For a two-liter bottle, …

Passionate. You should care about something. It'll help you get through the day.” The Work4Rich site has applicants finish mundane tasks like arranging pencils from blue to green, transcribing a voicemail and …

A clean car says a lot about a person, according to an ad for Autobell Car Wash. It’s a nerdy man’s 20-year high school reunion and he’s driving the homecoming queen to the big event. He’s rich and successful and she’s uninterested, until the man’s car starts talking like K.I.T.T. from “Knight Rider.” The car voiceover compares her nerdy companion with the studly high school quarterback, noting that Troy Derf noting that the QB probably isn’t responsible and tidy, like Alan. When the voiceover notes that Alan knits puppy sweaters, Debbie begins …
