Snickers Spain pulls TV advert after homophobia accusations
Snickers in Spain has pulled a controversial TV advert that was heavily criticised for being homophobic.
The commercial shows Spanish influencer Aless Gibaja transform into a bearded man with a low voice after eating a Snickers ice cream.
The video went viral this week, with some calling for a boycott of Snickers.
The chocolate brand has now apologised for any "misunderstanding that may have been caused" by the film.
In it, Mr Gibaja is at a beach bar with a friend where he asks a waiter for a "sexy orange juice with vitamins A, B and C".
The waiter, looking confused, offers him the Snickers ice cream. After taking a bite, Mr Gibaja appears to transform into a bearded man.
"Better?" the friend asks. "Better," replies the man. A slogan reads: "You're not yourself when you're hungry." The advert unleashed a wave of accusations on social media. #SnickersSpainpullsTVadvert
