A-bl-bl-blue!

Children of the 90s, do you remember this ad? Ang alam ko this campaign had a catchy tune eh, I just couldn't remember it. :-D I do remember loving the two blue men of this Colgate toothpaste ad, even though they look weird. Haha :D

Look For The Frakkin' Bird!

So, who doesn't remember the Albatross ad? Very catchy eh! Albatross, for the uninitiated, is a popular brand of toilet deodorizers. They have been making our bathrooms smell freshhhh. Tama, masarap singhutin.

Look for the bird daw...and look for the bird we do. :-D


Ad copy:

Let the fragrance of Albatross keep your bathroom smelling fresh and clean for a long, long time. With any of the scents of Albatross: strawberry, lemon, sampaguita, herbal, lougere, jasmine, lavender, and now samba, you can be sure that the fragrance of your bathroom will linger on.

Look for the bird.

Albatross. The deodorizer that works overtime.

Magnolia Ice Cream Is Undeniably A Classic

Magnolia Chocolait, Magnolia Ice Cream, Magnolia Butter, Magnolia plant near St. Paul--you name it, I like(d) it. Darn the first mention is the tear-jerker of all Magnolia products I used to consume. Who didn't love the chocolate milk that came in glass bottles? I am wishing I saved some of those bottles for memorabilia.

Same goes for this Irish Classic-flavoured Magnolia Ice Cream. So they say it's exquisitely brewed. Well, I think from years of eating ice cream, I've realized that as long as it's coffee flavoured, then nothing could go wrong.




By now, a lot of you would have realized that to create this naturally-looking ice cream that didn't melt in intense heat of studio lights, people from ad agencies had to rely on what they call food styling--essentially making fake food look darn real. So this ice cream probably was mashed potatoes in real life. But I must admit--again with little editing, they made the print out stand out in a cluttered world of black-text-on-gray-paper.

Great great work, truly exquisite :)

EXQUISITELY BREWED
New! Irish Coffee Classic
Special coffee ice cream blended with Irish cream liqueur and rippled with coffee syrup. In a flavor duet with rich, rich cream-based ice cream lavishly laced with chocolate-coated butter cookies and chocolated coated marshmallows. Try it and brew up a passion.
Definitely, among the world's best tasting ice creams.

*To retain the details of the ad (from the creases down to the paper texture), I refrained from altering the image, save for the watermark, brightness/contrast adjustments and the stitching (the magazine happens to be bigger than my scanner, seriously.)
