Pinar Lets Silverware Speak for Themselves

investment_for_flavour.jpg

Givenchy once said something about how elegance can always be found in the simplicity of a straight line. We totally slaughtered that. In any case, we think the philosophy is well-demonstrated in this ad for Pinar by agency Tempus.

The headline reads “Investment for flavour”; the body says, “Pınar, Turkey’s 31 yeared flavour brand, is continuing to grow with your investments and add flavour in your meals.”

We’re not sure what they sell considering the first image we saw on their site was this one, which intensely perplexed us, but we’d probably buy forks from them. – Contributed by Angela Natividad

Psychology says the reason older adults return to the music of their teens and twenties isn’t sentimentality, it’s neurological self-medication — those songs are stored in a part of the brain that bypasses current distress and delivers them directly to a period when the nervous system felt safe, and pressing play on a 1970s album is the cheapest and most effective emotional regulation tool most people over 60 have access to
