This Week on Subliminal Matters

So I hope you're excited to see what I've been up to while I've been away. I have some fun ads to share but I must say to every single visitor thanks for coming back. SM is about to hit 5,000 visitors and I think that most certainly is a milestone. Thanks for the emails and I even had a few comments while I was away which was pretty cool. Although I haven't been posting I've most certainly been collecting and I am buzzing with excitement to share, hope you enjoy!

Subliminal Matters: ice cream in it's manliest form; zeroing in on a specific target audience; man nuts are appealing?; man nuts = strength = great ice-cream treat for real men?; macho madness


Location: William St, Sydney


Ad Review: Is it just me, or is this ad truly hilarious. Can you imagine guys going to the 7/11 on a hot day asking for the ice-cream sandwich made with "man nuts"!!! I would actually pay to see that. Seriously I would. How about the guy that makes the purchase and then sees this billboard...while devouring the sandwich #awkward! 

Just so we're on the same page of revelation, some Creative Director out there has found that "man nuts" can be used to sell ice-cream sandwiches. I think, whoever made the ad either has an obsession with man's nuts, or this is an in inside joke that got taken too seriously or, (and this I think is most likely,) man nuts = strength = a great ice-cream treat for real men? 


Other than the weird catch phrase, I guess I do like the super hero figure, he reminds me of one of the fellas in Tropic Thunder. Anyway, I'm sure this ad is appealing to the public that want an ice-cream sandwich made better by some man nuts! really... :~/
