Adverts for food delivery service banned over ‘irresponsible’ drug, sex and alcohol content

Innuendo-based adverts said London ‘loves acid, pints, poppers’ and ‘blow’

Adverts for food delivery service Gorillas have been banned for featuring “irresponsible” references to drug use and excessive alcohol consumption.

The advertising watchdog has ruled that the company must not replicate its “Whatever London Wants” campaign in the future, claiming that the adverts normalised illicit drug use and harmful drinking.

The promotional clip, broadcast across TV and social media last April, featured a series of short scenes rooted in grocery-based innuendo.
