McDonald's Advertising - Less is More

What a great way to advertise a product without even showing the product.

I have to believe that there is not a person on this planet who doesn't know that the above photo is that of a McDonald's french fries box. And the fact that the box is empty is meant to send the symbolic message that the fries were so tasty, "you didn't save me any".

Awwww. How sad.
