We wish we’d seen these ad last week, but being still a bit in the Halloween spirit here at the Compound (and being generally charmed by the ads of Esselunga, an Italian supermarket chain, the advertising of which we’ve highlighted before) we thought we’d go ahead and drop these onto your screen despite the fact that Aglioween has already passed us by.
Esselunga’s ad designers showed a tendency to dress food up in funny costumes in 2008, the year that these sweet ‘n savories were released. Aglioween – an ad in which heads of garlic or aglio have donned witches hats – is just hilarious. And we love the American Gothic look of the aglio e olio or garlic and oil version below as well.
the “aglio and olio” adv is referring to “stanlio and ollio” that is the italian version of stan laurel and oliver hardy, and as you can see one is thin and the other fat like the two characters
