Oreo is using astronomical imagery for some of its recent ads; presumably, this Full Moon came to life via a double-stuffed cookie. // Oreo/Nabisco
Here at
Astronomy world headquarters, we make no secret about our
love of food. Perhaps it was with us in mind, then, that the good people at Oreo sent us a few examples of their
ad campaign that incorporates recent events using their iconic cookies in honor of the brand’s 100th birthday.
In particular, they drew our attention to examples celebrating this week’s landing of the Mars rover Curiosity and last week’s Full Moon. Not only is it cool to see these as a general fan of cookies, but I also love that these astronomical events are big enough on the cultural scene for Oreo to want to make use of them. It’s nice when everyone wins!
This Oreo ad celebrates not only the famous cookie, but also the recent landing of the Mars rover Curiosity. // Oreo/Nabisco
