Don't eat lava. Eat Reese's Chocolate Lava Big Cup instead.

When Reese's fans are involved, there's no volcano they won't climb to get their hands on their favorite treats – especially the new Reese's Chocolate Lava Big Cup. To capture this sheer excitement, the brand is back in the Big Game with a new ad with its signature humor. In the :30s spot created by Erich & Kallman, a concerned park ranger reports live from the site of an active volcano where Reese's fans are going to extreme lengths to get their hands and taste buds on the lava flow. As passion builds, a team of park rangers rein in the mayhem – saving grandma from scootering into the lava – and clearing the confusion: Don't. Eat. Lava. Eat ooey-gooey Chocolate Lava. Classic mix-up, fans.

"There's nothing better than seeing our fans go wild over new flavor additions to the classic Reese's chocolate and peanut butter combo," said Ryan Riess, vice president of brand strategy and creative development, The Hershey Company. "The Big Game is the perfect stage to showcase our fan's energy – whether that be from the top of a volcano or on the couch during football Sunday."
