7. Coke
Be careful. The ice is naughty today.
This
is an example of how tricky these marketing people can get. In this
case artwork was used to create a subliminal image in an ice cube. And
that image is somewhat unsavory in nature...
This is quite a sneaky tactic that allows the use of phallic symbols in some countries that would normally shout "pornography!"
8. East Street Full Body Piercing

In
this case there is something of a phallic symbol-made up of the two
streams of urine shooting out of the real phallus, which remains
thankfully out-of-frame.
This is an ad for a body piercing company; think about it...
9. BICE
Did someone say, "Pass the butter?"
Okay, not so subtle. But it is made of bread.
That's one thick loaf.
10. McDonald's

I
saved my favorite for last. And while I applaud McDonald's attempts to
curb littering, I can't help but wonder why they chose to put a phallus
in the ad.

Marshall McLewan would be proud! I worked in television for 30 years, and it's amazing what advertisers stick in advertisements to seduce the viewer...

J. Barker is the one with a problem.
Most people would not see phallic symbols in these ads.

you are seeing what you want
you are seeing what you want to see in most of these.

I wish...
...that was the case. Some of these ads appear in books about subliminal messages. I'm working on an article about that topic now and stumbled onto some of them...

I have to admit the body piercing add is just plain wierd but the rest of them are definitley open to interpretation. And if you are looking for phallic symbols you will find them every where

McD's ad
I stared and stared at the McDonalds ad. I scrolled away and then scrolled back and it popped right out at me...so to speak!
Wasn't there talk about something similar on the cover of The Little Mermaid VHS tapes?
