Because Evian makes you envisage babies, apparently

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Evian has been delighting viewers with their dancing baby adverts for some time now, but the latest is the most ambitious yet, seeing The Amazing Spider-Man in a dance-off with a baby version of himself that he sees in the mirror.

Scroll down for the video

In case you missed the previous commercial, it saw people's reflections suddenly become infant-sized after drinking the bottled water, aa weird reference to how natural (and presumably hallucinogenic-filled) Evian is.

The follow-up sees the same fate befall Spider-Man, who reacts like anyone would upon meeting their reflective baby self in the side of a skyscraper and breaks into dance, web-slinging here and there and generally busting a serious move.

The adverts ends with baby Spider-Man tipping adult Spider-Man off about pursuing police, with the latter leaping off toward the horizon.

More and more brands are attempting to make viral videos as a wide-reaching form of advertising, though Snickers got it horrifically wrong last month with an anti-misogyny ad that was actually pretty misogynistic.
