I must admit I've never heard of MaraNatha almond butter (and in fact, I thought Maranatha was some sort of religious reference) until last night, when I saw this ad while watching Dateline.
I thought it was pretty cool, and wanted to make a gif of it and then reanimate it. This involves shifting the order of the frames, subtracting frames and duplicating others, changing the speed, and going forwards and backwards.
Below is the gif from the original ad, and then the reanimated version I made from it.
P. S. I was right about Maranatha:
maranatha [mar-uh-nath-uh]
Word Origin
interjection
O Lord, come: used as an invocation in I Cor. 16:22.
Another translation:

Maranatha
late 14c., a Bible word, from Greek maranatha, untranslated Semitic word in Cor. xvi:22, where it follows Greek anathema, and therefore has been taken as part of a phrase and used as "a curse." Usually assumed to be from Aramaic maran atha "Our Lord has come," which would make the common usage erroneous (see OED entry), but possibly it is a falsetransliteration of Hebrew mohoram atta "you are put under the ban,"which would make more sense in the context. [Klein]
. . . So what does all this have to do with almond butter?
