The Hilarious Viral Ad That Became The Internet's Biggest Cheese

You’ve probably seen them by now: a funny series of commercials unleashed online by Danes Cheese with Real Bacon Bits, featuring the deadpan delivery of a cheese mascot simply trying to enjoy his snack without being bothered by questions about his appearance.

The ads hit the sweet spot of Filipino humor, a welcome break from all the uncertainties we face every day. The Danes Cheese mascot is shown outdoors, with random people coming up to him to ask what his red spots are. He replies “no,” they are not paint, not fight-inflicted wounds, or tattoos. “Bacon ‘yan,” he retorts, before nonchalantly returning to munching on his new snack.

So yes, the ad definitely has us curious about the new Danes Cheese with Real Bacon Bits. First of all, the cheese block is definitely bigger than many of us will be used to, weighing in at 180g for only P55. The texture is nice and creamy—firmer than a soft cheese, so it has a nice bite to it.

Then, of course, there’s the bacon. It has bacon bits that you can actually see and taste. And it’s no wonder the cheese man in the ads didn’t want to stop snacking—even as someone pointed out, “Hindi ba cannibalism ‘yan?”

Danes Cheese with Real Bacon Bits is a wonderful medley of creamy cheese and the irresistible smokiness of bacon. It's perfect for quick snacks in between work and a good addition to your cheese platter on a wine night. The combination of it would also make for great cheese sticks, or a good cheese cube topping for our salad greens. Plus, it even works in carbonara!

Danes Cheese with Real Bacon Bits is available in 180 grams and snackable 35 grams options at supermarkets, and through CDO Home Delivery, Lazmart, and Shopee.
