Pssst! new Stella ad

[Hilldodger]

I don't know if I ever mentioned that earlier this year Cyclemagic supplied 15 vintage tandems for the new Stella ad and I was flown over to Majorca as the cycling consultant

Well if you go to http://www.blinkprods.com/

click on directors, then Dougal Wilson you can find it there.

PS, that tandem (along with all the others) is for sale for a bargain £1500

...and the free samples...?

 

[Hilldodger]

Even I didn't get any

I had to make do with being paid a fortune and staying in a very posh hotel

 

[ComedyPilot]

Very funny advert.

 

[John the Monkey]

Nice one - a bit on the "aren't cyclists funny" side of things, but I'm glad you got some cash and a jolly out of it.

 

[longers]

Good to see the finished article

I occasionally have a can or two of "Hilldodger" as it's become known in my house.

 

[Mr Phoebus]

Arrggghhh! I dread that noise. Means it's a large tear.

 

[Keith Oates]

That's terrible, no cyclist would deliberately do that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[fossyant]

That's great....will it be shown over here ?

 

[Flying_Monkey]

I do like that one - Stella ads have been declining in quality recently and that one pulls them up quite substantially. I still wouldn't drink wife-beater though...

 

[Cheddar George]

I'm partial to the occasional bottle of Stella, and it is reassuringly always on special offer at Sainburys.............. nice advert as well.

In Belgium it has about the same reputation as Watneys' Red Barrel.

I remember my Great Uncle saying as much. He always used to ask English visitors whether they wanted "Good beer or bad beer..."

 

[Hilldodger]

So, nobody has spotted me yet?

The way that it's marketed as a reassuring expensive brew in the UK still amuses me.

In Belgium it has about the same reputation as Watneys' Red Barrel.

Went to a beer festival in Ghent with my father once. When we walked into the hall his eyes overflowed with expectation, the joy on his face was indescribable. Rubbing his hands together, he walked up to the bar and ordered a pint of Stella!

On the same footing (and generalising), Grolsch is looked upon as being every so slightly, but only just, one step above donkey piss here in Holland, yet Bud is seen as the Amber Grail of sophistication. Likewise, Heineken is cutting edge refinement in the US (or at least it was last time I was there). The bigger the marketing budget the higher the kudos, I guess.

Returning to topic, did anyone else watch the Toe Jam clip on Roger's site more than once?

Um, the Blink site isn't owt to do with me.

This is my site http://www.cyclemagic.org.uk:D
