That’s actually a very witty ad! lol. love it. I’m also a big fan of drug packaging over there, clean, simple yet deceptively prescriptive looking. Lots of white space with a two-tone color scheme and Helvetica can make me believe the drug will work. I’m such a placebo whore, and I need to get my ass to Europe, stat. Thanks for sharing your adventures, it’s nice to experience it vicariously.
That is quite the lesson on the karma of history. :)
Lol — thanks for the comments, guys!
