Guinness Ad #79: Opening Time Is Guinness Time

July 30, 2011 By Jay Brooks

guinness-toucan
Our 79th Guinness uses the tagline “Opening Time Is Guinness Time.” In this case, the opening refers to the oyster, with a smiling pint of Guinness resting inside. The slogan at the bottom is the common “Guinness is good for you.” My one question, is since when did oysters have eyes?

    Not only does the oyster have eyes but the beer does too!
