This is the worst advertisement ever!



You purchase a pizza.



Open the box and eat a slice.



Take the last slice and see a dead cockroach under it.



But look closer, it's just a photo of a dead roach printed on the pizza box. It's an ad for an extermination company.

I bet you call the exterminator though.

Not only is that absolutely grotesque, but like you said that is the dumbest advertising idea ever.

Too clever by half...imagine a different advertiser like a fitness company. "Workout at Snap Fitness all week so you can enjoy Mamma Mia pizza on the weekend!"

Then, give a call to action to join (mention Mamma Pizza and we'll give you a free week).

damn that's gross. never mind the exterminator, what was the pizza place thinking?

Probably fake.

First, the front of the box is in English and the ad is in Spanish

Second, Why would Momma Mia allow their brand to be associated with cockroaches.

Seems impossible.

An awesome example of thinking INSIDE the box.

(yeah, i said it.)

Clearly this ad is fake. No pizza company would ever, ever run this.

Incredible as it may seems, that might be real... The ad is in portuguese, and in Brazil the delivery service is also called delivery ;-)

It's Portuguese, not Spanish.

do you think they did any research trying to figure out what was typically the last slice taken?

@Copywryter:

Seriously?

"Momma Mia" is not English, it's Italian. What planet do you live on?

Also, the print on the inside is Portuguese, not Spanish.

You should probably go hide somewhere, like, forever. You're not cut out for Earth.

pissedandpetty: The word "Delivery" is in English, silly.
