This ad for the Hawaiian Pavilion Luau and Coke caught my eye. The photo in the ad started out life as a standard United Airlines Luau postcard. The ad company did some pre-PhotoShop editing and superimposed the coke bottles in the gentleman's hand and on the table. Look at the size of those coke bottles will you! That is hilarious. Talk about saving money on advertising costs. Here is the original postcard. This postcard shot also made it onto an album cover for the Luau at Waikiki recorded at the Hilton Hawaiian Village in Hawaii. DC
