Anthony you should be able to download the ads from The Sweetshop and Jack Hutchings. See my article on How to Download Videos, listed under Duncans TV Guides in the sidebar, on how to do this.

Indeed “5 Cougars thanks” was a classic campaign although I have it on good authority that while creating great brand awareness the campaign did little for sales.

Fact of the matter is bourbon drinkers don’t order Cougar in a bar. I think matthew is on to something…

I’m picturing a bloke in a ute ordering “Massive Cans” from said blond booby girl at the drive through then throw to the back yard scene with him telling the story to his mates.

Sales promo plus ad with boobs = happy CUB (cashed up bogan)

I also think the ’5 Cougars thanks’ campaign was a classic. It should be combined with the proposed ‘massive cans’ idea.

In additon to the above catch phrases, you can use ‘get your hands off my massive cans’!

Also, ‘do you like my massive cans’!

I think you should ackowledge that your market just wants cheap piss and plenty of it -- you are not selling wild turkey after all!

So the girl with the big boobs was great -- she appealed to the market you attract…but we really want cans to take to the park or drink on public transport or similar -- they have to be cheap, and as long as they have the right amount of alcohol they dont have to taste great (like woodstock! -- cheap and you get a big can, bigger than 375ml for the same price!!!)

So to mix the best of both worlds -- blonde booby girl and cheap drink -- I suggest a “Massive Cans” promotion -- “All the fellas love Massive Cans!!!” or “Get you hands on our Massive Cans” -- you can have the girl presenting over-sized boobs and cans of cougar to blokes in the park or the back yard…”So when you think of Cougar -- remember Massive Cans!!!”

Best of luck!!!

As far as I can tell, alcoholic beverages have been a great influence on advertising. Easily some of my favourite adverts, the beer industry has consistently mixed sex and humour to great effect whilst developing what is now known as viral marketing (coming from those ‘water cooler’ aimed adverts of the late 80s).

I like these ones, they have charm.
