Lion commercials: from oral care products to household goods.

Speaking of Lion, in addition to oral care products such as toothpaste, the company handles a wide range of household items, including laundry detergents and dishwashing liquids.

Many of Lion’s products are so well-known that almost everyone has heard of them, making them feel very familiar to us—and that’s arguably thanks in part to their frequently aired commercials.

In this article, we’ll showcase Lion’s commercials all at once.

Along with the star-studded casts, another highlight is how each commercial reveals the target audience for its respective product, so keep an eye out for those aspects as you watch.
