1750 has a brand new advert. Right here. A lady is consuming water from a bottle and asking her mom (presumably) “the place was this bottled?” (OK, granted, not a query one would ask however this adland).
Tannourine? Greater
Rim? Greater
Sannine? Greater
Barouk? Greater
The reply finally ends up being “1750” – and the tagline? Our top is our title.
Now here is the problem: Tannourine, Rim, Sannine are names for bottled water manufacturers. And comparative promoting is forbidden in Lebanon (right here and right here) so naming three competitor manufacturers within the advert is a bit… fishy. I do perceive the rationale of comparing-but-not-so however nonetheless obtained uncomfortable fact be instructed. Perhaps to drive their tagline they may have accomplished in a different way – there was already a touch of comparability beforehand (right here), however this time it’s too overt.
Oh and in case you ask – 1750 is Tarshish.
