"Open happiness," by Coca-Cola



























An outdoor ad for Coke. The "Open happiness" line goes just right with the image. This theme seems like a return of "I'd like to teach the world to sing" for people who don't have time for a whole song.

You have to click on the picture to see the "open happiness" in the lower right.

Mustang Unleashed



I might come unhinged by Mustang Unleashed. A mustang wouldn't be on a leash, not as a car, not as a horse. Your dog might be on a leash, or your girlfriend, maybe particularly if you drove a red Mustang.

Wonders Never Cease (Grandfather Mountain)

Wonders never cease. This saying becomes fresh and feels apt for a mountain whose wonders never cease, except when the fog comes in.

Meat Your Vegetables (Manwich)



Meat Your Vegetables

Is there really a full serving of vegetables in a Manwich, as this ad campaign says? That's hard to believe, but the tagline is tasty.
