- [Regarding obfuscated cigarette advertisements]
-
- Some months ago there was a cigarette ad which was a map of Bermuda and the
- surrounding ocean. I never worked out which brand it was meant to
- advertise, though I have a hunch that it was Benson & Hedges (because of all
- the multi-coloured lettering). Does anybody know?
-
- As far as I have been able to work out:
-
- Purple fabric, especially if pierced or in the shape of a cutting
- tool, is "Silk Cut".
-
- Lots of loose letters, especially set on a background of gold, is
- "Benson & Hedges".
-
- "Embassy" is EITHER unnaturally slanted objects OR Viz-style top tips;
- or possibly both (either-or because I can't quite remember).
-
- Anything I've forgotten?
