Swiss Supermarket Commercial

Migros is the largest supermarket chain in Switzerland and enjoys somewhat a cult status. (Especially for people like me, living abroad.) The below Migros commercial made me smile. The countryside scenes you see there, that’s pretty much how I grew up.

  1. Anyone know what the music is from?

  2. The pun on “why did the chicken road the road” made me LOL.

  3. The music has been created by http://www.massivemusic.com/ especially for this ad.

  4. The chickens are called Chocolate, Nutella and Nuts. The cow’s name is Muffin.

  5. *sigh* Anyone in Switzerland want to hire an American librarian? Willing to move IMMEDIATELY!!! :-)

  6. Remember the joke about a two-story outhouse? Imagine being on the first floor of a two-story cow barn.

  7. This is great! :)

    Can anyone give a direct link to song download or at least directions, I speak german but I don’t know where to look for the song download (I’ve searched throug Medien, Werbespots, Spaetsommerfrische,… no luck). Thanks!

  9. And you left this beautiful landscape to move here, because….?

  10. i love all migros commercials, they are so creative, fun and intelligent. this one in particular has to be my favorite. because i happened to hang out my window in zurich back on june 11th when i heard this crazy loud animal roar. and there was…. a cow. and a film crew. even tweeted about it (something like, a bit different than living in nyc !). and now i see what they were filming !! so cool, thanks for sharing ! :)

  11. If you have come accross this commercial you might have seen this online game:

    http://www.migros.ch/DE/Supermarkt/Spaetsommerfrische/Seiten/Chocolate_Spiel.aspx

    It s all about Chocolate the chicken and her girlfriends… they all live in a barn, lay their eggs and you can watch them live (through webcams) and put bets on them… pretty fun.. if you u live in the US you might get up early in order 2 catch some action… the chickens only work central european day time shifts and sleep at night,… give it a go!

  12. This really did make me smile today. Thanks! I wish I shopped at Migros.
