NJ Police ‘Arrest' Puppy Monkey Baby

Did you see the Puppy Monkey Baby commercial during Super Bowl 50 Sunday night? You would certainly remember it if you had.

Mountain Dew advertised its new energy drink, Kickstart, with a commercial featuring the new drink’s mascot "Puppy Monkey Baby." Mountain Dew describes Kickstart as “three awesome things combined” on its website, saying it’s made with Dew, juice, and caffeine.

Like Kickstart, "Puppy Monkey Baby" is also a mixture of three individually cute things: a puppy, a monkey, and a baby.

The commercial was greeted with mixed reactions, ranging from amusement to confusion to outright horror, but one local New Jersey Police Department decided to have a little fun with this instant social media sensation.

The Voorhees Police Department took to Twitter with a photo of "one of (their) weirdest arrests to date." The image features the Puppy Monkey Baby cuffed to a bench in a holding cell after being apprehended for shoplifting.

The department's followers thought the gag was hilarious and tweeted back in approval of the playful social media post.
