    Is this photo supposed to be like an oral sex innuendo? I don’t understand her reaction especially

      dude is eating a huge-ass sandwich and his girlfriend breaks into tears because it is embarrassing and disgusting. also - it’s a cigarette ad.

      He loves the sandwich. contextual clues indicate she knows he loves the sandwich.

      I think that she knows he loves the sandwich and is ostentstious about loving the sandwich.

      But she has taken aback nonetheless.

      She feigned imprisment of a love of the sandwich.

      It entices him.

      They grew closer together because he loves this sandwich and she loves secretly that he loves this sandwich.

      This is a photo that is a haiku, and my word are too bloated to express its meaning.

      This is the purest form of art.

      Yeah, seems like a weird one. Most of their ads showed people out and about enjoying life, which I guess is what they’re going for here, but the woman sure doesn’t seem to be enjoying things.

    I never understood why Newports had the upside-down Nike symbol. Like, why?

    Yeah, I remember these. As a guy who loves minty stuff, I never got the point of menthol cigarettes. They taste like battery acid. I mean, regular cigarettes are kinda nasty, but the menthol ones try to cool it with mint and I think I experienced the opposite of the intended effect. Also, they cost more. How is mint more expensive than tobacco? They’re both super common plants.
