Is this just a design challenge?

...or do we actually need to display the advertisement for public consumption?

It sounds like just design for me - but I think displaying it publicly is likely to earn far more votes.

You know, I've SEEN advertisements for 3 of those 4 things... I might be tempted to try for Whale Meat, that stuff is delicious.

Pitch the Idea Better?

I'm not seeing much action on this idea; could someone repurpose it and pitch it again to recapture the interest of Everyday Lifers?
