These ads for Aspirin Plus C want to sell you their brand of aspirin to avoid colds - they claim that the dinosaurs would still be around today if only they had not caught a cold.
First of all, where did that theory come from? As of today, scientists still do not have a conclusive reason, making it really hard to believe that an ad agency has been able to figure it out. Secondly, who would want a T Rex as a pet? They are not really known as “family-friendly” pets. The ads were created by advertising agency Graffiti BBDO, Bucharest, Romania with creative direction by Ema Prisca and Balint Hajagos. The copy was written by Adina Basag.
