Sydney International Food Festival.
When I first saw these ads and promotional pieces for the Sydney International Food Festival all I could do was shake my head up and down and smile. Because they’re just so flippin’ clever I didn’t know what else to do. And then I went and ate lunch. {via Wide Open Spaces}

Budweiser’s holiday commercial is one of my all-time favorites. Enjoy! (And prep yourself for some delayed holiday cheer via me!)

Unbreakable Kiss.
I love this promo for A Diamond is Forever.
“In a New York City park, A Diamond is Forever sponsored an installation where couples could document a kiss in 360-degree video, from December 1st until today. For a $5 donation to the Elton John AIDS Foundation for World AIDS Day, couples kissed beneath a mistletoe arrangement while 60 cameras photographed them from all angles. The photographs were combined into moving video images, which are available for download on www.adiamondisforever.com.”

The MARTINI Factory.
Being a Pittsburgh native I can’t help but be a devoted fan of Andy Warhol.
After collaborating to create an Ad Campaign for their vermouths in the late 1950’s, MARTINI & ROSSI brings Warhol’s iconic artwork and style back to life with a modern twist. From canvases to cocktails, MARTINI & ROSSI has embarked on a new advertising and cocktail campaign – The MARTINI Factory – aimed at redefining vermouth and the art of the aperitif. The vermouth aperitif drinking occasion, hugely popular in Europe, has yet to take hold in the U.S. market where cocktails dominate popular culture. This new campaign offers consumers an array of innovative vermouth cocktails featuring contemporary ingredients. MARTINI & ROSSI will also unveil a collection of six innovative Warhol-inspired vermouth cocktails at an invitation-only MARTINI & ROSSI Warhol Factory party – being held in NYC on August 6th – what would have been Warhol’s 80th birthday.

Ugly Mug Coffee.
Sometimes I’m a bag blogger. I’m talking to you, Ugly Mug Coffee. Not only had I bookmarked you months ago after seeing your fabulousness (somewhere I’ve long forgotten), but you even emailed me yourselves and I’ve neglected to put out. A post that is.
That brings us to the here, the now. Because Holy Packaging this stuff sure is good lookin’. It’s that hot guy who walks in the room and you think he’s just easy on the eyes, but then you talk to him and he’s got brains and a sense of humor, too. Almost too good to be true. (I did say almost.)
