So much to love about the (huge) amount of text in this ad - but the discussion of op art, the product name (Ramuc) and the line about "emerging from the sea 300 to 400 million years ago"...   AND it's visually arresting.

So where is this trompe-l'oeil pool they're talking about? Does it have a lifelike depiction of a shark?

This must be the precursor to the credit card ad Martha Stewart did long ago (before prison) where she was tiling a pool with all of her other cut up credit cards :D

I guess they never caught on. I know I never saw one when I was a kid. I have a feeling that anyone who had one probably had it resurfaced.
