Guinness Ad #61: How Grand To Be A Toucan

March 26, 2011 By Jay Brooks

guinness-toucan
Our 61st Guinness ad shows the iconic toucan with two pints of Guinness and the following poetry:

If he can say as you can
Guinness is good for you
How grand to be a Toucan
Just think what Toucan do

They used that punny language to good effect for many years, and in fact that was why the toucan became one of the most used animals in their advertising.
