Turning 70: A Look Back At Kinnie’s Most Legendary Ads
Love it or hate it, Kinnie has been around for decades. Seven to be exact. And during that time Kinnie has come up with countless fun Kinnie ads to keep it fresh and relevant.
From using local faces to cooking up something that’s a bit weird, let’s turn back time and count down the top seven Kinnie ads throughout the ages.
7. The Treadmill One
Counting down from seven all the way to the very best one, we start off with the treadmill Kinnie advert. Funky moves, fast-paced editing, quirky and fun vibes and some serious treadmill skills make this one legendary Kinnie’s ad.
6. The Ferry One
Throwing it back, this Kinnie advert is one of the few available online that use that iconic Kinnie jingle. Filmed in black and white and harking back to a different era, this advert has truly lasted the test of time. Turning classic Maltese moments into Kinnie moments is what makes this Kinnie ad legendary.
5. The Around Malta One
Drawing inspiration from Dizzee Rascal’s Bonkers music video, this 2015 ad makes a trip around the streets of Malta. Taking you from day to night and everywhere in between, Kinnie is the taste of your world at any time of day.
4. The Moving Plates One
Going down the absurd route, the whole concept behind this Kinnie ad has all the ingredients needed to make it memorable. I mean, having three freshly prepared dishes race to have the honour to be served with a bottle of Kinnie is amazing.
3. The Faster Than Speed Of Thirst One
Taking you straight back to the greatest decade of all time, this ad serves up the sights, sounds and feelings that are totally 80s. Trying to catch up with the speed of sound might be impossible but Kinnie surely does manage to reach the speed of thirst. Even before you realise you’re thirsty, a bottle of Kinnie is waiting for you.
2. The Caveman One
Coming in hot in second place, this Kinnie ad is exceptional. Going back in time to 3,000 BC, we are treated to an updated history lesson where the expression ‘necessity is the mother of invention’ really comes into play. You will never look at the classic mara il-ħoxna in the same way… as they say, taste first!
1. The Chalet One
The most iconic Kinnie ad, the one that will live on for hundreds of years to come is, without a doubt, the Chalet one. Filled with fond memories and quirky characteristics of the 50s, recreating one of Malta’s gems in an ad makes this the most memorable of Kinnie ads.
Celebrating 70, Kinnie has been a Mediterranean Classic since 1952. Seeing the internet being born, being alive when Queen released Bohemian Rhapsody and remembering the release of the first-ever iPhone – Kinnie has always been there.
With normal, diet and zest flavours, Kinnie is the perfect pairing with every meal. Continuously coming up with new flavours and ways to use Kinnie, you can even cook with it!
Or, if you’re a more fun under the sun person, make sure you check out the Kinnie Spritz alcoholic drink that they came out with not too long ago.
No matter if you love it or hate it, if you cook with it, use it as a mixer, or just drink it – Kinnie might have been around for 70 years but they’re not slowing down anytime soon.
