When I was watching the ad, I was thinking about- The initial presentation from the creative agency and just think everyone just would've gone, "Yes." How, how can you say no? You've got this rhyme with poo and, um, you know, and food, which is a no-brainer.

It's kind of like, you know, the dream scenario when you're looking at a Sonic is, is also trying to find something like the Sakata ad, which put the brand right into the music.

The bass soundtrack was just – it was certainly something that – Again, Sonar Music was behind that one.
