If I chew this gum, will a giant cat pick me up by the scruff of the neck and carry me off? Will he eat me, or does he just like the smell of my gum? Maybe it's catnip-flavored.

The gum is supposed to give you a lift. The guy looks tired in the first scene. The thing is the cat throws him on the ground when he gets to the office. I think if the commercial was a little longer you would see him get to his feet and run towards the door only to be grabbed by the cat again. Then rinse and repeat about 20 times.
