If you're jittery about facing the spotlight- cast Spuds in your smoking-role. They keep hear out of smoke- so you can keep a fresh, clean mouth. They taste better, too. With a natural tobacco fragrance unmarred by heat.
Comments:
This humorous advertisement depicts a woman handing a man a Spud cigarette as he prepares to go on stage. He wears an evening gown and a bracelet on either wrist, as a dainty wig hangs on the corner of his chair, ready to be slipped on at any moment. The ad suggests that a Spud will calm the man’s nerves as he experiences stage fright. The humor and risqué approach attract young people to the brand.
