Center Fruit ‘Colour Your Tongue’ is meant for all those with a taste for some fun! It is not only a completely new flavour offering but also provides an exciting experience of turning the tongue blue when chewed. A sure shot delight, especially for our younger consumers.”

The commercial revolves around a kid in an examination hall, who realizes that he has run out of pen ink in the middle of the exam. His friends and the class teacher do not prove to be of much help. In a moment of inspiration, he pops in a Center Fruit - Colour Your Tongue and his tongue turns blue. He then proceeds to write the 

exam with his blue tongue and laplapaos his way out of a sticky situation. The commercial not only brings out the fun of colouring your tongue blue but also shows how a kid is able to think on his feet.


“Colour Your Tongue is a very interesting product. We wanted to demonstrate the fact that it turns your tongue blue in an equally interesting way” says Anurag Agnithotri, Group Creative Director at Ogilvy & Mather, Mumbai.

Launched in 2006, Center Fruit is country’s first fruit-flavored, liquid-filled gum and comes in a variety of flavors including Tutti Fruty, Strawberry, Watermelon, Sweet Mango and Mingle which is India’s first dual colored, dual flavoured liquid filled gum. Over the years, Center Fruit has kept tongues wiggling in laughter with its ‘Kaisi Jeebh Laplapayee’ campaigns, in line with the positioning of “the lip-smacking, rib-tickling gum”. In the latest commercial for Colour Your Tongue, product positioning has been incorporated in a smart and witty manner and has added a new colour to it.
