It's not the most romantic subject in the world, but this advert for chewing gum has captured the hearts of viewers.
The romantic tale of 'a girl, a guy, and a stick of gum' has been viewed more than 4.2million times since it was uploaded to YouTube last week.
The simple tagline asks viewers to 'see their love story unwrap' - and it's certainly touching hearts - with many viewers admitting it has reduced them to tears.
Set to the music of 'Can't Help Falling in Love', the Wrigley's Extra advert follows Sarah and Juan as they meet as sweethearts in high school.

Sarah and Juan begin their epic love story
Sarah, played by actress Katie Clarkson-Hill, 24, from Doncaster, offers her love interest a stick of chewing gum - and their romantic journey begins.
We see them sharing tender kisses in a car and holding hands as they walk through the park, with each scene showing Juan doodling on a packet of chewing gum.
The advert then fast forwards to the pair bickering as adults and going their separate ways at an airport.

What the young man is drawing is not clear until we see the couple finally reuniting - and his pictures of their relationship put together in an epic marriage proposal.
The advert has been featured on Good Morning America, and chat show host Ellen has tweeted her love for it.
Katie, who stars as Sarah, has previously appeared in episodes of Casualty, Vera and Doctors.
She was chosen from thousands who auditioned and shot the advert in Madrid over the summer.
Say yes!
