First there was Nordic Rock – and now here’s Heavy Metal

Igor Polyakov — Thu, 04 Jun 2009 11:56:06 +0000

From the people that brought you Nordic Rock: Stone Ice Cubes, MOCHA now bring you the Heavy Metal Nutcracker, which has just been launched at at: www.mocha.uk.com

A design deliberately kept simple and very tactile to use, the Heavy Metal Nutcracker works on the principle of gravity. To use, you just raise the large, smooth steel ball to the top of the U-brackets. Then let it fall, and feel a sense of satisfaction as you watch and hear it crack open the nut, waiting on the base below.

The Heavy Metal Nutcracker is manufactured in steel and wood.

Pizza Hut: Cheesy Bites Ateria 3-4:lle

I was under impression of Phil’s post when we come to the Pizza Hut in Citykäytävä in Helsinki, near Stockmann, and when I citated it to my wife, she starred at me with some doubth, but our daughter was very hungry and we decided to go for it finally.

After ordering of Cheesy Bites that so delightfully depicted on adverts across the restaurant, we figured out that pizza has a size of normal KotiPizza (Starting from 7,40€), and these infaumous cheese bites around the pizza has nothing common with their brothers photographed on the advertisement.

This masterpiece is stated as suitable for 3 or even 4 persons, but you will get feeling of hunger after the meal.

And all of this beauty only for 49,90€!

New ad making the rounds on the bus stops. Nearly tripped when I first saw it and laughed.

Why is the slogan in English though? Cant you say Rakastamme boobit …or something?

Bob Helsinki Oy

Very interesting approach in one Finnish advertising agency site’s design: Bob Helsinki.

At the first moment when I saw it, I thought that something wrong with the person who posted this link on pingstate.nu, but after some frustration I got the idea – these folks styled their page as Google image search results. It’s looks fresh, but what about copyrights?
