These remarkable, enduring and eye-catching advertising prints by some of the world's biggest brands remind us that advertising is rarely about what is written, but how the feelings that are conveyed are experienced.

In a series of [iconic advertising prints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/outdoor-advertising-campaign) that have distinguished leading brands from their competitors in the marketing department, some of these ads are though-provoking, stimulating and downright hilarious. One of the ads showcases [Coca-Cola's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cocacola-family) lasting prominence through the ages, with three bottles exhibited in three different movie formats -- black and white, color and 3D -- with the tag line, "125 Years at the Movies." Another ad shows the difference between shooting down a duck with a rifle, and the suction ability offered by a Rowenta 2100 Watt Vacuum Cleaner.

Another features a Gold's Gym poster, which shows two endomorphic males positioned in between the letters "F" and "T," while the same man, this time in a mesomorphic form, stands between the letters.
