Culligan Capitalizes on Cult Film The Princess Bride

If you didn’t see it already, we implore you to watch Culligan’s recent ad spot featuring Cary Elwes, famously known to many as Westley from 1987’s cult film, The Princess Bride.

Put simply, this ad has the right mixture of nostalgia and humor. Couple that with the brand’s newly crafted marketing message, the As You Wish spot is a nice reminder that Culligan Water is still around and what they provide customers.

The question remains – would you give your people Culligan Water?
