All I know about this picture is it was taken by a friend of mine because it appeared on my Facebook feed.
Except I can’t remember which friend.
But I love it.
I love the colour of the drink.
The way the hand is perfectly placed and poised.
The reflection on the tray … unable to stop the burnt orange colour shining on the tray but looking like it is exploding out of the centre.
I love the way the seat and the walls of the plane seem to have the same type of look and feel.
Warm. Fabric. Like a favourite jumper at winter.
I love the clouds poking out of the window.
I love that as the person flies through the sky at hundreds of miles per hour, it looks like they’re preparing to relax as if they’re going at 5 miles per hour.
I don’t drink any alcohol, but that plastic glass looks mighty tempting …
I imagine that if I put it to my lips, I’d experience a strong, rich orange flavour that is ice cold and utterly refreshing.
A drink you’d sip because of it’s intensity and desire to make it last longer.
That photo makes me want to drink that glass.
That’s a better ad than most I see these days.
But it’s not an ad.

A photo that turns you from a teetotaller into a wannabe alcoholic is more than an ad. It’s a miracle.

Comment by andy@cynic August 11, 2016 @ 6:39 amDo you remember his warm milk from starbucks phase? Worst ever.
Comment by DH August 11, 2016 @ 6:46 am“I want a venti latte. Hold the coffee.” I used to put it down to British eccentricity. Now I know it was just Rob and his weird phases.
Comment by Bazza August 11, 2016 @ 6:55 amdo you want me to pound some south african cliche shit in your face?
Comment by andy@cynic August 11, 2016 @ 7:10 amFor the record, my ‘milk phase’ was because of my illness … it was not because I suddenly wanted to recapture my toddler years. It kind of disturbs me you don’t know that. Or forgot that. Or are just being dicks.
Comment by Rob August 11, 2016 @ 8:21 amHaving a headache is not an illness Rob. I have one every morning after a night on the piss.

Comment by andy@cynic August 11, 2016 @ 6:40 amAdvertising – where people who don’t use the product explain how to reach people who do.
Comment by John August 11, 2016 @ 7:02 amnot advertising. planning.
Comment by andy@cynic August 11, 2016 @ 7:10 amWell of course you should use the product, but sometimes you can’t and so you find people who do and ask them questions about it and about how it affects them. If I can only work on products I actually use, I’m going to be screwed … at least in the sense of using them as they were intended.
Comment by Rob August 11, 2016 @ 8:23 amJust remembered there was something else that got close to breaking my 31 years of alcohol denial. In fact, it got even closer than this because I actually bought the product.

Comment by Rob August 11, 2016 @ 8:32 amWas it not Ben Malbon’s FB profile photo for a time?
Comment by amanda August 11, 2016 @ 3:59 pmWas it? He’s not my Facebook friend so I don’t think so … but who knows. I obviously don’t. Ha.
Comment by Rob August 11, 2016 @ 4:39 pmI’m not fooled. The attraction of the drink is that it’s somebody else’s and therefore another freebie.
Comment by John August 11, 2016 @ 6:25 pmDiscovered who it was. My Russian friend Larissa.
Comment by Rob August 13, 2016 @ 3:44 pmAhhhhhhhh.
And then she told me she stole it from the internet. Damnit.
Comment by Rob August 13, 2016 @ 5:02 pmStill a beautiful photography wherever it may have come from!
Comment by The Irascible Tulip August 14, 2016 @ 12:10 pmIn what way is the hand perfectly placed and poised? Poised for what?
