Nestle Uses Naked Baristas in Ad to Sell Coffee Creamer

There�s an old joke that the definition of the term �flying saucer� is, �what happens when a nudist spills their coffee.�

In current news that Platypus readers may appreciate more, The Nestle Company is planning to use naked baristas in an online advertisement to sell a new coffee creamer product called Coffee Mate Natural Bliss.  The advertisement features servers appearing only in body paint, with the question, �How would you react if your typical morning coffee was anything butt?�  The spelling of �butt� is intentional.  You can read about it in an article from Time magazine appearing this week: Naked Baristas Sell Coffee Creamer

If there�s one thing that the Bare Platypus can appreciate, it�s the enjoyment of relaxing naked with a good cup of java.  In fact, we have mentioned the subject just a bit in the previous blog post The Favorite Place In Your House to be Naked . 

The fact that there is tasteful nudity within the advertisement to sell Nestle�s product is a plus, albeit it is being presented for some �shock value.�  However, by mainstreaming nudity in natural, everyday ways, like serving or drinking coffee, more people may become comfortable with the human body.

We note, too, that a host of advertisers have used nudity to connote that something is natural, unadulterated, or wholesome.    (See platypus post on Richmond Ham , for example.)
