Del Campo [Saatchi & Saatchi](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snack-right) have developed an innovative 'Message in a Bottle' Campaign for Argentinian beer company [Andes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/andes-peppermint-chocolate-chip-cake).

Users scan the [QR code available on each bottle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/packaging-initiative-in-singapore) in order to record a short message, which is then assigned to that specific bottle. The intended recipient of the bottle then scans the same code, and the video recorded earlier will begin to play on their smartphone.

The innovative publicity stunt is being advertised in a series of commercials which comically convey the message that "it's easier to say it with Andes," whether the news is that you've been stealing your neighbors Wi-Fi or that you've been sleeping with your son's best friend for six years.
