Guinness Ads #6: The Ostrich

February 20, 2010 By Jay Brooks

The sixth Guinness poster by John Gilroy is another of the many ads that are in a zoo. In this one, one of the most famous, an ostrich has swallowed a pint glass whole and it’s visible in his long neck. The tagline is perhaps one of the most common, “My Goodness, My Guinness.”

Virtually the same ad has also appeared in a slightly different aspect ratio.
