    They also did that at the recent EURO 2016 Championship.
    All the side hoardings only had the word 'Probably', and not Carlsberg.
    Personally, I thought that was quite brave, because, not everyone would have grown up with those advertisements, if you know what I mean?

    It must be one of the longest ongoing advertisments campaigns using this simple idea.

    @Egg--I do believe I remember seeing that "Probably" interactive billboard in one of my newsfeeds. Thanks!

    Here's another one, just isn't beer. During the fall and winter when I golfed (and I do so hope I can return to golfing), one or more of the group I play with always has a flask of Fireball whisky for when one of us gets a birdie (one shot each) or an eagle (two shots each). When more than one of us are playing really well early on, we generally begin losing it by the end of the round...

    With one of my Photoshop actions, "burning paper" is a relatively easy task. I used the shape painter tool to more or less replicate the singed look. If I took more time it would have been a bit better but seeing how I am not getting paid for this The main font they used one of the Bodega Sans styles, along with Bank Gothic.

    Like the burning paper effect. Tried reproducing it here. Apolgies re the Arsenal logo, it goes against the grain

    Saw an advertisement (probably from the 50s) advertising how good Stout was for women.
    It may have been, or maybe still is!
    I don't know?!
    But, it made me want to draw the label - as I hadn't done one, yet.

    In fact they did:

    In England, post-operative patients used to be given Guinness, as were blood donors, based on the belief that it was high in iron.
    Pregnant women and nursing mothers were at one stage advised to drink Guinness - the present advice is against this.
    The article where this was extracted from also states that it is indeed good for you as it acts in the same manner as Asprin for circulation issues.

    Great images in this thread

    Here's the best stout in the world. Couldn't find the correct fonts. I hand drew the main Guinness one. The rest are just Times New Roman, not perfect. I hate hunting for fonts.
