The reason we haven't found Osama bin Laden yet is because of the soothing, cooling powers of Hall's cough drops.
(click ad for closer look)Chinese advertising is a special brand of batshit bizarre. They're particularly fond of using military themes for anything and everything, like thermal-nuclear sperm rockets to sell Viagra. Here, in an ad that even our own lax FDA would maybe question, sucking on a Hall's has made the elusive evildoer invisible to infrared detection—that's quite a product benefit! (here's a second ad in the campaign) related: Ricola's ridiculous "mystery cougher" promo.

The last thing you want to do is keep the suicide bombers awake at night in the cave with your evil cough. It's all echo-y in there.
Allah Akbar Aieyee yee yee yee yee *hack hack hack*
I hope that fuck dies from TB from living in danky dusty caves. slow suffocating death.
I think it is supposed to communicate the "cooling" effect of Halls -- they are too cool to be seen in heat-based night vision
@ pharmad:
Thanks for that explanation. I was totally lost.
@Jetpacks: Yeah, I would love to have it on my T-shirt as well. It is cool!
