Product Awareness Increased With 'Advertisement'

iwz by iwz · Jun 28, 2001 · Laugh · 47 views · ·

The Onion is reporting on a brand new form of media, dubbed the "Advertisement," pioneered by Aquafresh.

"Our first advertisement, or 'ad' as we've come to call it, will soon appear in magazines across the nation," GlaxoSmithKline CEO J.P. Garnier said. "Conceived as a service to our customers, this ad employs images and words to describe the benefits of using our Aquafresh toothpaste."

The GlaxoSmithKline advertisement, provided free of charge to consumers, features a picture of Aquafresh and lists the benefits of its use: strong teeth, healthy gums, and fresh breath. It also explains how the product's patented tri-color formula helps users reach these goals.

Click here to find out more about this invaluable service, which will undoubtedly "eventually appear in other media, from television to radio to large, free-standing signs posted next to roads."
