The Sugar Panda is back! Last month, Deadpool star Ryan Reynolds and his producer Maximum Effort put together HighKey snacks in a fun ad. In an effort to “cancel sugar, not cookies,” the Panda voiced by Reynolds is a warning to all who consume too much sugar. The little cardboard creature has had better days, but it’s back in a new ad. The sugar panda tries to sell sugar to a neighbor, who tries to inform him that “too much sugar is bad for you.” The toothless panda refuses to hear about HighKey’s healthier option and his heart nearly stops in the middle of the conversation while also suffering from a nosebleed. It’s haunting and hilarious!
«In an effort to cancel sugar, not cookies, HighKey is on a mission to eliminate more than 10 million pounds of sugar from the American diet with its low carb and sugar snacks that taste just as good as the original but without the guilt . To help them achieve this goal, the brand partnered with Ryan Reynolds and his marketing company Maximum Effort to launch a campaign starring Sugar Panda, an unusual animated spokesperson, last month, “explains HighKey. “It’s a simple playbook: cartoon mascot ✅ Jingle ✅ Delicious product ✅ Blood, drugs, jokes about body function ✅,” Reynolds wrote on Instagram.

Reynolds is no stranger to the ad game. In fact, he recently appeared on the cover of Entrepreneur Magazine. The actor has posted a variety of ads for his company, Mint Mobile, including one that brought Rick Moranis out of retirement and another that featured a Gary Busey cameo.
