Advertising agency PS10, Rio de Janeiro must be extremely confident in the interest and love for the [new Mineirinho Zero drink](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/break-from-artificial) in order to portray it as the last request of a criminal before he’s hanged, electrocuted or has his head cut off in the guillotine.

And the criminals take the sip with a wide smile on their faces. Now that is what I call real love of the product.

What I like about these ads is that bottles of Mineirinho Zero are shown experiencing the same fate as the criminal in a small image on each [print ad](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rc-cola-campaign). It’s always fun to look at a [soda bottle being electrocuted](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hurts-real-good)…

The creative team who worked on the October 2008 campaign includes creative/art director Digo Souto, copywriter Felipe Gaúcho, and photographer Manufatura Digital.
