Diner Ads

Today I had the pleasure of dining at one of my favorite locations in Keene, The Pub. The Pub is a local diner with great food, great service, and amazing prices. It is a local hot spot and the meeting place of many group outings.

As I wait for my meal to come I look down at the place mat before me. It is your usual paper place mat with ads covering the whole thing. How ever, this one is very different. On the left hand side of the mat there are trivia questions. Most being very obscure questions which I am sure not many know the answer to. How do you find the answer you ask? They are hidden on each companies ad with the corresponding number next to it. In order to find the answers you must search up and down the place mat, thus looking at every advertisement. I found this to me a very clever marketing idea. Do you share the same opinion?
