Waiter! There’s an ad in my soup!
I’m a fan of guerilla marketing, but a company called Gourmet Impression has taken it too far. The company created a food “Stamper” and “Roller” that can emboss food with text and graphics (i.e. advertising).
What’s next? Ads in the bathroom? Oh yeah, we have them already…

I love this kinda stuff. Nice to see solutions that don't involve Superbowl commercials. But I'm part of the "small is beautiful' camp.
Except food ads have been suggested before, at least as far back as the beginning of the Medium is the Message, where Marshall McLaughan showed a picture of an over-easy egg that had some words imprinted on it with a "new" (circa 1960s) technology. It never caught on then, and I'm not convinced it'll catch on now.
Just thought this was amusing, since it shows what adland loked like back then... Gourmet impressions took a screendump of adland for their press-clipping collection posted it here. Nice green. ;)
Seems they have resorted to spamming these days. Robblink, you're like two years ahead of everybody you trendsetter you with the finger on the..eh.. food. Sept 2004 - Snarkhunter got spammed...:
