This is an ad for an [instant hand sanitizer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/perfumeinspired-hand-sanitizers) from advertising agency EURO RSCG in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It is not as nastily graphic as the one TrendHunter published a few days ago but it drives the message home.

I like the way this ad cleverly shows some of the junk our hands come in contact with throughout a typical day such as door handles, all kinds of food, toilet paper, shoes, pets, other people's hands, dirt, bugs, etc, etc, etc.

Very well made [poster](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/outdoor-advertising-campaign). Very clever.
