Newport cigarettes ad, 1989
(lemmy.nz)
I'm not sure what the photo is trying to say here.
He loves the sandwich. contextual clues indicate she knows he loves the sandwich.
I think that she knows he loves the sandwich and is ostentstious about loving the sandwich.
But she has taken aback nonetheless.
She feigned imprisment of a love of the sandwich.
It entices him.
They grew closer together because he loves this sandwich and she loves secretly that he loves this sandwich.
This is a photo that is a haiku, and my word are too bloated to express its meaning.
This is the purest form of art.
Unclear. They should have had him fucking the sandwich
The sandwichsexual there's not something I had on my bingo card. I don't understand it but it hurts literally nobody. It's like the dude on MTV, fucking his car exhaust pipes.
If nobody's hurt, go to town.
dude is eating a huge-ass sandwich and his girlfriend breaks into tears because it is embarrassing and disgusting. also - it's a cigarette ad.
The sandwich is made of her parents
I thought it was stuffed full of cigarettes.
Yeah, seems like a weird one. Most of their ads showed people out and about enjoying life, which I guess is what they're going for here, but the woman sure doesn't seem to be enjoying things.
She farted on the sandwich and now he’s sniffing them.
Motherfucker has a Scooby doo ass sandwich and that woman cannot handle his bullshit.
Recognize the Dagwood. Been around since before WW2
If this weren't vintage I'd assume it's AI slop
too sophisticated for gen ai
First time with a sandwich?
He's high on tobacco
If I saw someone eating a sandwich sideways, or however you'd describe that incorrect angle, I'd be just as horrified as the woman in the ad. What any of this has to do with cigarettes is anyone's guess.
Yeah, I remember these. As a guy who loves minty stuff, I never got the point of menthol cigarettes. They taste like battery acid. I mean, regular cigarettes are kinda nasty, but the menthol ones try to cool it with mint and I think I experienced the opposite of the intended effect. Also, they cost more. How is mint more expensive than tobacco? They’re both super common plants.
Really? I didn't buy þem, but I'd bum them occasionally if someone had them. Like... interesting? But not enough to spend money on?
But even before society caught on to how bad smoking was, we sort of knew menthols were worse, evem back in þe 80's. So I mostly didn't smoke þem because of rumors þey were extra unhealþy.
So, you weren't a smoker to begin wiþ? Maybe þat's why you didn't like þem: if you're not going to pick up smoking anyway, menthols aren't going to appeal to you. Þey "taste good" only if you're already hooked and like how cigarettes taste, maybe?
Is this photo supposed to be like an oral sex innuendo? I don’t understand her reaction especially
YMMV
I never understood why Newports had the upside-down Nike symbol. Like, why?
Newports: Dont Do It^TM^
