Orbit White Goes Cult to Promote Gum

To promote its teeth whitening White gum, Orbit has launched a kooky, new age site called Friends of Bright which is full of cult-like phrases such as “A dim brain is understandable but a dim smile is unforgivable, “He who lives in a dark house should chew more Orbit White” and “Brightness in not a destination, it is a way of life.” There’s a folksy sing-along, weird videos, ringtones and a section to sign up and become a member complete with photo uploader and profile creator. It’s just weird enough to be effective in our humble opinion. The site was created by EVB, creators of the Old Spice When She’s Hot and the very, very cool Winterfresh Cool Breath Power.
