Remembering Syria - Syrian Billboard 2 of 2

I didn't know this hairdo is also popular there!
Remembering Syria - Syrian Billboard 2 of 2 by friend_faraway - Countdown 2 Pakistan.
'Canady Dry' is what it said on the the advertisement advertising the 'Canada Dry' soft drink brand.

It's funny though , depite the Syrian Government not really in favour with the Western , some items sold are very pro western. Like this one.

I love this billboard because of the retro touch to it.

Location : Damascus-Syria

You are right concerning the retro touch.
In West-Europe, Canada Dry lost the market. Coca Cola Company had been much more offensive and is selling the most of the similar soup.
You know that most of the Americans are told to be so intelligent because they are used to chew Wrigleys Chewing gum, so why shouldn´t we taste it too?

Thanks for sharing the story on Canada Dry with us. Well.. yes I have to agree, why not share something good from outside our country? Thanks Rainer!

karachi : I am so happy that at last someone knows so well a bout this item! Yes, from Iran to Syria to North Africa, freshly squeezed juices are so popular. They are just everywhere! Healthy options of drinks! I myself do not drink much soda.
Thanks Jules for sharing!

It takes ' big bucks' to pay for this size of advertising so i guess they are not going to say no to that Azlan - great shot btw!!
