Spar, a restaurant sitting in a beach in Mumbai, India, recently conducted a guerilla campaign where large clam shells were strategically placed along the shore. When people reached down to open the shells they found a talk bubble ad that says “Looking for Seafood? Spars Seafood Festival.”
Definitely something we’d take home to show the natives to demonstrate how much cooler every other country is besides our own. “Even the ads are better!” we hear ourselves boasting before some disgruntled relative bitchslaps us with the very shell we brought to brag about.
Cheers to Spar. It would have been awesome to throw in a plastic Mardi-Gras style pearl necklace, though. You know, make the whole festival idea seem more festive. It’s kind of a buzzkill to open a huge shell and have nothing but a piece of paper to show for it. Oh, well. We’d still take it home.
