"CAN'T HELP FALLING IN LOVE" for Extra Gum

[InItToWinIt]

The Huffington Post: Watch The Extra Gum Ad That Is Bringing Everyone To Tears

It's not often that a gum commercial can bring you to tears.

But Extra Gum's "The Story of Sarah & Juan" is a serious tear-jerker, in line with its 2013 heart-warming "Origami" campaign, which lovingly told the story of a father and daughter.

As Haley Reinhart's take on "Can't Help Falling in Love" plays in the background, we witness a love story that begins with a look. As Sarah and Juan lock eyes, Sarah is so overwhelmed with the romantic connection that she blushes and looks away. This sets the tone for the rest of the commercial......

There's just something about this gum commercial that is really sticking.

Perhaps it's Reinhart's sultry cover, the compressed journey of falling in love with all the rough patches along the way or the depiction of real love that survives life changes.

Whether it's one single factor or a combination of a few, "The Story of Sarah & Juan" tells us that that tingly feeling of love has the power to touch many -- even if for just two minutes.

The Huffington Post has always been supportive of Haley - nice article. I can't wait to see what happens. YouTube (social media) vs TV airing and how it relates to sales for Haley.

I've been obsessed with Haley Reinhart since American Idol

Why isn't Haley Reinhart more well known? Her voice is so amazing, she deserves recognition

Haley Reinhart's version of "can't help falling in love" makes me want to fall in love with the next fool I see

FB comment:

Great version. Is that Nora Jones?

YT comment (on unofficial "official" video):

When I first saw the commercial I instantly was like "wait... that voice.. is that? can it be?... Googles it OMG YES, ITS HALEY!! gets over excited

YT comment explains why some people miss Haley's name at the start:

Oh, I didn't see that because I was more focused on skipping the ad

Looks like the YT video is getting about a million views per day. There are also about five unofficial videos of the song that are collecting quite a few views (with more Haley specific interest). It will be interesting to see what happens when the TV spots start.

The film is set to Haley Reinhart's cover of 'Can't Help Falling in Love', which only adds to the complete rollercoaster of emotions that you feel watching the two main charcters' love story unfold.
