With Mother's Day on Sunday, plenty of brands put out tender, sentimental commercials that have viewers thinking fondly of their mothers, but Skittles went a different route. 

Their ad shows a grown man and his mom sitting next to each other on a couch enjoying some of the fruit candies, but only the mom is eating... her son is getting Skittles from the umbilical cord that still connects them. 

Happy Mother's Day?
