These spots promoting EA Sports’ FIFA 15 are a bit different, to say the least. In a spot by W+K Amsterdam, the tears of soccer superstar Lionel Messi (who apparently is overcome with emotion just by thinking about losing or winning) run down his face and into a pair of elaborate chocolate-making machines, pressing them into a breakable candy bar. This Stim writer wasn’t aware being good at soccer meant your bodily excretions could be made into candy, but it kind of makes sense. I mean, if you’re not a fan of Messi, the idea of playing a round on FIFA and making him weep must seem pretty sweet.
