Extra Gum introduced the next chapter in the 'Give Extra, get extra' story with the debut of 'Max & Bill' to support the launch of the new Extra Refreshers gum.

The new ad campaign tells the heartwarming story of an unlikely friendship between two strangers, and how small, unexpected gestures – like sharing gum – can help form a lasting relationship regardless of age, race or gender. Young Max shows up at the park whenever he can to play checkers with older man Bill, who shares his Extra gum with him. When Bill doesn't show up, Max finds where he is and visits him with a hug at the home he lives in.

Debuting nationally, 'Max & Bill' features a rendition of the song Every Age, recorded by emerging music artist Jacob Banks.
