So I was on my way to work this morning when I spotted a cab and a bus at the traffic light. The cab carried the Carlsberg ad and the bus had the Tiger ad, both of which made me cringe so bad I couldn't decide which one made me cringe more.
Carlsberg - Probably the best beer in the world.
Sheesh. Probably the best beer in the world? Is it just low self-esteem or are they just trying to be annoyingly modest? Seriously, probably?? Sure, 'best beer' is a subjective thing, but seriously dude, adding 'probably' does not make it better. Imagine if doctors started saying, "Hmm... This medicine probably won't kill you." Apparently, they came up with this tagline in 1973. I have one thing to say to that. People, it's been more than three decades and you're still not sure??
Tiger - 250 quality checks. 251 when you sip it.
*thunk thunk thunk head on wall*
So are you saying that your beer is so bad that even after 250 quality checks, it's still not ready for consumption? The person drinking it has to be the guinea pig and do the final check himself/herself??
Looks like beer ads are the best evidence -- alcohol does destroy the brain cells.
Probably. :/

//This medicine probably won't kill you
Was reminded of the Friends episode when Phoebe says 'Your mother probably won't kill herself' :D
Mujhe nind aa rahi thi and I get sona here :D
Heh, when I first came across the carlsberg ad, I thought it was a tad cocky, then I went "probably?!!". "Possibly" sounds better and less doubtful :)
Okay, I know that wasn't the point of the post...still...
and i get the bronze... (and unclaimed silver)
carlsberg se yaad aya... my people here are happy.. this thing is now available in our city..

I Claim Gold!
But bhai how many 'tola' is it?
Maybe if you give away 1/2 mg sona but 10 kg silver I'll take the other one next time.
(Oh wait wats the market rate?)
Stupidosaur bhaiya... Gold Urv bhai ne claim kar liya hain.. uppe dekho..
Its not about the damaged brain cells.
They are very well thought campaigns.
When you are drunk on some good brand of a competitor, you will be high and think that everything in the world including their dumb campaign is super, and hence switch to their brand.
@sanchit

Hehhe... bhai you were expecting intelligence in a beer ad? :D :D
