Snickers has pulled a 'homophobic' advert in Spain which shows an influencer transforming into a very different man with a deep voice.
The commercial shows Spanish influencer Aless Gibaja flamboyantly ordering a 'sexy orange juice' and winking at the waiter as his embarrassed friend looks on.
The waiter hands him a Snickers ice cream bar and, after taking a bite, Gibaja transforms into a bearded man with more masculine clothing.
'Better?' his friend asks. 'Better,' he replies gruffly as a tagline appears saying: 'You're not you when you're hungry.'
Snickers ads with a similar narrative have featured on British TV, with memorable examples featuring Sir Elton John and Dame Joan Collins as the 'diva' protagonist.
