Aviation Gin, the liquor brand owned by actor Ryan Reynolds, mocked Peloton’s widely criticized holiday commercial on Friday with a little help from the same actress who appeared in the controversial ad.
In an Aviation Gin commercial posted to Reynolds’ Twitter account, the actress sits at a bar with two friends in front of martini glasses. The friends console the actress, who offers a toast (“To new beginnings”) and proceeds to chug her entire glass in one sip.
“Exercise bike not included #AviationGin,” Reynolds wrote alongside the commercial. The ad itself is titled “The Gift That Doesn’t Give Back.” The name is also a riff on Peloton’s commercial, which is called “The Gift That Gives Back.”
The actress in Aviation Gin’s commercial is the same one from Peloton’s commercial, a source familiar with the matter confirmed to FOX Business.

There’s usually exclusion from working for competition. But gin isn’t competing with an exercise bike. And technically it’s not mocking the product, just the ad.
She looks better in the gin commercial.
Thanks. : ) My wife lovers her Peloton (has treadmill and bike). Uses it every day. (I haven’t been on either...I was on our old treadmill at 3am this morning) She’s in great shape (sorry no pics, Laz) and could kick my butt. I keep my distance.
