Almost... almost. Five ads that are almost great.

One of the best advertising words (apart from "up to" and "virtually") is almost.   Read more about 'weasel words' HERE.

Campbell's Soup, 1949    This one wins for two 'almosts' and for such prominent featuring of the word.

HUGE Vintage Ghost Ad being revealed in Downtown Vancouver!

[spuzzlightyear.livejournal.com]

They are doing demolition of some older buildings in downtown Vancouver, and during the demolition of one building, it slowly revealed the wall of the other building. The wall is revealing something truly extraordinary, An ad for a 1920's Harold Lloyd comedy called "Grandma's Boy"

City planners have revealed that the likelihood of what happened was that the ad was put up, then almost immediately covered up by the 2nd building once construction started on it. After that (like 90 years later) it's being uncovered. I have no idea what they're going to do with it. But it'll be a shame if this gets torn down and demolished. I'm not even sure how it could be saved.
