Welcome back to Great Challenges in Advertising. A woman in South Korea says she found a rat head in some shrimp cracker snacks, and we’re wondering how they could reposition that product in the marketplace. Your suggestions so far:

  • Rat head shrimp crackers, the snack that can’t go bad!
  • They’re skull-crunchingly yummy!
  • Rat head: when you just don’t feel like a whole rat
  • Rat head, like the shrimp flavor isn’t bad enough…
  • Rat head crackers - they’re plague-o-licious!

My daddy always said “if you get hungry enough you’ll eat ANYTHING.” Guess that goes for Rats On A Stick! as Monty Python knew so well…

They should start putting those child safety markings on their plastic bags only about rats. Where was PETA when all of this was going on?
