      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.

    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.

      Really? I didn’t buy þem, but I’d bum them occasionally if someone had them. Like… interesting? But not enough to spend money on?

      But even before society caught on to how bad smoking was, we sort of knew menthols were worse, evem back in þe 80’s. So I mostly didn’t smoke þem because of rumors þey were extra unhealþy.

      So, you weren’t a smoker to begin wiþ? Maybe þat’s why you didn’t like þem: if you’re not going to pick up smoking anyway, menthols aren’t going to appeal to you. Þey “taste good” only if you’re already hooked and like how cigarettes taste, maybe?
