Or even: Free Benzene Now! (with a little graphic of an anthropomorphic version of the chemical peering out from behind a set of prison bars) |
|
| |
Particulalrly suitable for coffee, spices, herbs,
indeed anything Aromatic… |
|
| |
Exactly - the kind of reaction I'd want is "Ah, that's good, my favourite brand of coffee contains no benzene - wait! are they saying it used to contain benzene?" |
|
| |
What happens if you put it on a bottle of benzene? |
|

////"Now Benzene free!"
What happens if you put it on a bottle of benzine?

That would be OK, as Benzene and Benzine are (I think) different substances. |
|
| |
ok, ok I can't spell benzeen... |
|
| |
This would be great if the stickers used a benzene-
based adhesive. |
|

...with an explanation in small font: "Benzene is not good for you..." |
|
| |
You'll be found out when old people start calling up to complain about the change. |

"I love the smell of benzene in the morning

|
| |
"For rectal use only" had a good run a few years back. |
|
| |
Sticker needs small print: "Warning - this sticker can only be removed with a solvent containing benzene" |
|
| |
Now, with 20% fewer carcinogens! |
|
| |
I'm pretty sure marketing is all in the way you say it. You could probably write: "More than twice the benzene of other products!" and people would be impressed. We live in a culture where people take anti-oxidants before they to go the oxygen bar. |
|
| |
Benzene! For use in oxygen bars!
Check with your doctor if benzene is right for you. |
|
| |
This is all well and good but how will you ensure that the 'random' items are truly random? |

A Reimann Zeta Function formula could be printed on the
backing. |
