Here's a casino ad that created a picture using dice:

I was amazed, thought a few people here might be interested as well.

I've tried doing similar stuff before not in such scale but...Wow!

Amazing what you can come up with after a little thought

Like that Honda advert recently with all the engineers. They stack up a whole load of Rubik's Cubes to create a picture of an engine.

I was just about to mention that. But what about the advert when they build a car entirely out of cakes,
was that Honda aswell, anyway bloody good car, I'd like one of those.

hehe - i like the caption - Let The Good Times Roll.

Somewhere, I have a book with a picture of Einstein done in this way, with a quote he once said - "God does not play dice"

For once it wasn't a Honda ad. That one was Skoda.
Cool add, but not quite like what we're looking at here. Otherwise Honda have a whole back catalogue of amazing ads that I'd drag back out.

For those who like to calculate their dinners, how many calories do you think were in that Skoda cake? Would they translate to horsepower?

Telly Ads is a wonderful archive of recent (and some vintage) British TV advertising. Here's the Skoda "cake" ad if you want to relive the yummy memory:

The intention was to donate the finished car cake to Great Ormond Street hospital as a treat for the children. In the event, the filming took longer than expected, and because of food poisoning fears (fresh cream under the lights) it had to be "donated" to a community composting scheme instead. Shame.
