# Kittens as Dish Rags

Hangovers can be dangerous indeed! This [hilarious print ad](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jelly-roll-x-zevia) for **Alka Seltzer** shows you the danger of hangovers by showing a guy, who obviously had one too many the night before, using his kitten as a sponge to wash the dishes!

I guess it’s not that bad as long as he does not use hot water, as the kitten will be clean and fresh by the time he finishes.

The fun ad was created by PROVID ad agency in Kiev, Ukraine with creative directors Benoit Schmider & Kirill Chichkan, art director Sergey Kozhevnikov and photography by Andrey Chursin.
