Setting out in quest of a good cure for a sore throat can be a daunting task, but Strepsils has made it easy in their latest [print advertisements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dreamies-treats). The campaign thought up by Spanish advertising agency EURO RSCG features mazes made of different flavored throat lozenges.

The ads depict four different environments a sore throat might be contracted in (a factory, school, army and restaurant) and with lozenges that guide the customer to satisfied [sore throat relief](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rxbar-ad).

I don’t quite understand what would make them think of linking sore throats to the army though…
