Piñata

In the frenzy of a classic birthday party with a shower of candy from the bursting piñata, we discover one disappointed young man without a single piece. Someone notices and transforms the memory from sour to sweet by _sharing_.

Al from Alabama, December 26, 2020

This is a great idea whoever thought of pass it on. Thank you very much

Michelle from California, October 11, 2020

The boy was sad because he didn't get candy, but the little girl noticed he was sad and shared her candy. she is a good role model

korbin from Flower Mound, August 24, 2020

We see this - sharing - happen all the time when we have our family pinatas. It's how our kids learn! Keep it going.

DG from Texas, November 16, 2016

Loved it!

Olivia from Pinehill Lane 21337 , October 24, 2016

I actually had that happen to me once! I was at a birthday party when I was little and when the part with the pinata came, the other kids took all the candy before I got any! I was very sad! Nobody shared theirs with me, and I had to have the parents give me other candy that they had! I cannot believe how MEAN kids are these days! When I throw my kids parties, i'm going to make goodie bags instead of having a pinata! I don't want anyone feeling left out!

I loved that the little girl is sharing her candy with the little boy that didn't get any

Selena from Ohio, August 29, 2015

This video shows that we have to share even if we have a few. we do not have to be selfish with the others because one day we will need their help.

kelly h. from tennessee, October 7, 2012

I wish someone would do that for me.

theresa from new zealand, September 11, 2012

That was nice to see that even kids who are 4 or 5 even know the importance of sharing.

jose s. from glendale heights, September 5, 2012

This one personally hit me so much! that exactly used to happened to me in piñatas when I was a kid in south america, I was very shy and all kids used to get all the candy and toys. Sometimes it was a nice kid that shared with me sometime it wasn't, The thing is that if you teach your kid to share it will make him/her a better person. This made me cry! what an awesome job they do with this commercials!

Taly from Boca Raton,Florida, September 1, 2012

Nice! Great lesson. I love these commercials. I would like to show them to my niece. I hope she will learn how to live a better life. :)

Sarah Tu Nguyen from San Gabriel, CA, July 30, 2012

That was me the little boy that did not get any candy. The commercial was really fun.:)

Alexander from St.charles, June 16, 2012

This commercial inspired me. I wish this event happened to me when I was a kid...both of these kids are SWEET AND CUTE!

Randy J. from Fremont, California, April 27, 2012

That girl is so sweet.

Rachel Boettcher from Arizona, April 6, 2012

I am biased on Pinata, that was my Grandson Alex.

Neal from Marriott-Slaterville, April 28, 2011

My grandson is the boy at the end of the video, his name is Alex. His personality fits with these videos. He is really caring and sharing. He has a sensitive personality and always thinking of others. Love from his NaNa These are great commercials and ads that promotes and installs great values in all of us.

She was very kind.

Anna from Canada, March 8, 2011

These vids kick butt. I'm only 12 but now I want to do something nice for someone else. I saw a vid on TV and went to the website and I'm glad I did. Thanks.

Micah F. from NYC, December 27, 2010

I LOVE ALL OF THESE VIDEOS. I'M 9 AND MY TEACHER SHOWED ME THIS WEBSITE AND I LOVED IT. ITS ALL ABOUT SHARING, CARING, AND HELPING.

MISHA from NJ, December 16, 2010

These are the most heartwarming ads I have ever seen! Oh, for hundreds more- I never get tired of them! Thank you for the brightest moments of t.v. viewing. Two of my favorites are You Raise Me Up & Cafeteria (Well, actually they all are!)

Barbara F. from Dalton, GA, March 3, 2010

I was that girl. I was near the edge and grabbed as much as I could because the rest of the kids were all rough boys but me and so I was nervous. However I got things I didn't want and so I passed it out to others and in return someone gave me their box of candy they didn't want. It was a great day!

Ashley W. from California, February 26, 2010

Pinata reminded me of an incident that occurred when my daughter was about 12. On an early Halloween night, the first time I allowed her to go out trick or treating with friends, I got a call from her friend's parent. My daughter had been pushed by older kids and they stole her bag of candy. I went to pick up my very shaken young girl. How moved I was when the doorbell rang again and again -- word had gotten out about what happened, and one by one her classmates came by to offer her the pick of their candy hauls. It still brings tears to my eyes as I think of it now.

Donna F. from Washington D.C., October 1, 2009

My name is Elijah, I am a graduate of Health Information Management. I have taken time to watch all these clips, they all teach sharing, love and giving a helping hand. Please, I want to be part of this campaign. How will I go about it? Thanks.

Elijah A. from Lagos, Nigeria, September 27, 2009

Your TV spots are just about the only thing on television worth watching! They bring a tear to my eye and a feeling of hope to my heart. Please keep up your much needed work.

Larry S. from Henrico, NC, September 24, 2009

I like to visit this website almost every day, because I love to watch all spots that you have in it...learning beautiful things that make me feel so good ...Bless you for everything.

Sergio A. from Cartersville, Georgia, September 13, 2009

Let's make the world a better place to live in! Pass it on!

Drew O. from Manila, Philippines, May 1, 2009

Wish there were more inspirational commercials like this mainstream. Thank you for sharing the love!

Leslie B from Ankeny, Iowa USA, December 27, 2008

This videos are so awesome they really make me feel good. Whenever I see one of these videos there is a smile in my face.

Brenda G. from Las Vegas, NV, November 20, 2008

All your ads make me smile and happy to see some optimism!

Suzanne L. from White Plains, NY, November 19, 2008

Wow, I had exactly the same experience when I was a young Brownie Scout...big room full of girls and one got bumped in the scramble. The good feeling I got from sharing with that little crying girl stays with me more than 40 years later.

Kathy M. from New Jersey, November 19, 2008

Anything that promotes better values in our society is very worthwhile! Great job!

Phyllis I. from Fresno, Ca, November 19, 2008

Again, I love it. This very scenario has played itself out in front of me, you have captured and shared a powerful example. Thank you for teaching these principles.

Tim A from Gesa Credit Union, Richland Washington, November 19, 2008

I love it! It all starts with our children.

Debbie E. from Tyler, Texas, November 19, 2008

The children who were selected for this were absolutely perfect!! Thank you!

Anne R from Susquehanna,PA, November 19, 2008

I've seen this exact same thing happen in the past and it's really cool when little kids share with each other... especially something they love like candy.

Jamey F. from Frankfurt, Germany, November 18, 2008
