This must be the ultimate mug for drinking milk. It is made from digestive cookies and dark chocolate. It also helps parents motivate their children in order to drink 2 mugs of milk. Great move from Cream-O, a cookie brand in Malaysia, and Grey. The edible mug came free with 2 packs of Cream-O. The campaign run for a month with a succesful 19% increase in sales.

Coke Zero: What do pétanque, knitting and fishing have in common?

Zero. A magic number which when added it can mean nothing or change everything. In Duval Guillaume's latest stunt for the Coca-Cola Zero "Just Add Zero" campaign they did just that. They added zero and changed everything.

They asked ordinary people playing pétanque, knitting and fishing to film them. As you can imagine all of these hobbies have non-to-a-few spectators only. Then they added zero. 6 spectators became 60 then 600. Fishermen, knitting ladies and petanque players felt like superstars when, out of nowhere, supporters started to appear, cheering, creating a crazy atmosphere. (Thanks Sophie)

DHL: Trojan Mailing

Guerilla marketing at its best. DHL made its rivals UPS, TNT and DPD advertise DHL's services. They hired the competition to deliver large black packages taped all over with thermoactive foil.

Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1 mocks Apple's Pencil ad

I love the way Samsung mocks Apple products and fanboys. In case you don't remember check here and here. Now, Samsung takes Apple's Pencil ad that featured the iPad Air which is thinner than a pencil and compares it with the new Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1 which is thinner that the iPad. The Galaxy Tab features a 2560-by-1600 at 299 ppi screen compared to the iPad Air’s 2048-by-1536 resolution at 264 ppi. It also has multitasking abilities.

Then, the mocking continue. Now it's iPhone's 4.0" non-HD turn to be humiliated by the 5.7'' HD Galaxy Note 3. We see the 2 phones side by side and LeBron James working his magic.
