Cavities? in MY Bus Ticket?

September 15th, 2009

Seeking to promote their anti-cavity toothpaste in Israel, Elmex needed to catch the customer’s eye in a way that hadn’t been done before. They teamed up with the country’s primary bus company on an entire year’s supply of season bus tickets, printing one side with the normal ticket information and graphics and the other side with a set of teeth so that the ticket eventually filled up with cavities!

The idea is certainly eye-catching, though if the toothpaste prevents cavities, shouldn’t holes be disappearing? Maybe there should be a candy bar in the middle instead…

Christmas with the Colonel!

kfc christmas record

Funny? For sure. Intentionally funny? Perhaps not. This is an actual Christmas record (with a back cover cleverly designed to look like a wrapped present, no less). I don’t own it, so I don’t know if Colonel Sanders actually sings on it, but that would be the only thing that could make it better than it already is.

Michelangelo used marble, but gum is pretty amazing - and amusing - in this sculpture.
