Perhaps the highest endorsement possible for a hygiene product.
A new Crayon Shin-chan animated ad is selling Nivea-Kao’s 8×4 Men Deodorant Body Wash with perhaps the highest endorsement possible for a hygiene product: it can even cure Hiroshi’s smelly feet.
Shin-chan’s father is legendary for his smelly feet, and has even used it as a weapon on occasion, but it is apparently no match against proper men’s deodorant. Nivea-Kao Japan began streaming the ad on Thursday, and it will play during the upcoming Shin-chan episode on Saturday.
Additionally, a billboard ad featuring a suave Hiroshi will display at Saitama’s Kasukabe station, where the series is set, from April 18 to 24.
