Two things to cover here: first, Bud Light’s successful promotion putting fridges filled with Bud in bars, locked until the Cleveland Browns won a game – a two year dry spell. Note the reference to Dilly Dilly at the end.

Here’s how you circumvent advertising restrictions. Just tell people to Google it.
Point it at your favourite Brazilian politician – it uses facial recognition to bring up any convictions for corruption. Could be a broader market for this. Grand Prix winner at Cannes.
