To save people from the onslaught of candidates' insult-slinging, Hefty did what it does best and 'trashed' political ads. For five days leading up to the 2016 presidential election we ran banner ads on major news sites, including a CNN homepage takeover, and six second pre-roll ads geo-targeted to swing states.
The move was welcomed and applauded by people who were sick and tired of all the trash-talking, animosity and volatility that the election created.
