    OK that was cool but I doubt if it encourages one person to buy their ice cream.
    Respect my lack of authority.

    I'm going to buy their ice cream. Gallons of it.

    I didn't see any survey. Maybe my AdBlocker removed it. Apparently some people see a lot of adverts on the internets. Mine is mostly ad-free. NoScript and AdBlocker.
    Now go away.

    I haven't found that particular brand yet, but when I do, I expect to join these three after several gallons:

    I use ABP, but do not run NoScript. I get stuff on occasion, but not enough to be a bother. I doubt the survey jumps up at everyone, but I went to the page not knowing what the advert was you were talking about. I filled in like 2 questions, and decided that probably wasn't what you were recommending.

    Overall, a very elaborate if not impressive ad campaign. I'd probably be influenced by watching people eating different ice cream bars and choosing the Magnum over Dove or whatever other ones there were... this doesn't do anything for me though.

    Nobody posted their score?

    There are different purposes to advertising campaigns. I assume this one was done more to build brand recognition than making instant sales. Since I'd never heard of the brand before, and now I've spent 5 minutes playing their game, I'd say they strongly placed the name in my memory. Often, that's not an easy thing to do.

    Anyone else notice the other tie-ins? They obviously had some sponsors involved in the creation of such a project. Smart all around, IMO.

    My score was like 16k, and it put me around 150th-ish place at the time.
