For Colombian Food, the Sancho BBDO advertising agency created a unique print ad that shares an age-old Colombian technique for ripening avocados. Most avocado lovers know how difficult it can be to tell exactly when the fruit is ready to be enjoyed and this functional print advertisement has the potential to serve as more than just a handy guide.
While the Colombian Food print ad does depict a ripeness color scale, the newspaper page itself can be torn out and used to wrap an avocado until it changes color. As indicated by the color scale on the page, a light green color means that the fruit is ready to be enjoyed with a salad, while a darker shade yet makes the best guacamole.
