Made with 100% recycled ideas
On my way into town on the bus the other day, I spotted this ad for Tennent’s new-ish (launched onto the market six months ago) beer Caledonia Best. 100% Scottish barley is a good claim, I suppose, but doesn’t it sound a wee bit familiar?
Oh, hang on.
Yeah, I did think I’d seen it somewhere before.
I shouldn’t be surprised. Since the launch of Caledonia Best, a carbon copy of Belhaven Best, the latest new product from the brewery, just a few weeks ago, was Tennent’s Export Lager, a carbon copy of Stella/Peroni/Beck’s in the obligatory green bottle.
Now that they’re even recycling other brands’ slogans, it seems that original ideas are not in demand at Wellpark.
I can exclusively reveal that this is just the first in a series of posters – the forthcoming ads are shown below for the first time in any media (because I made them up):
(The invoice is in the post folks.)
what about "total first pint refreshment"
ReplyDeleteI wasn't quick enough to stop my friend ordering this last weekend...result=barely touched pint
I'm afraid that name (albeit with a slightly altered spelling) immediately makes me think of the great Louis Jordan rather than beer.
