There’s A McDonald’s Drive-Thru Window That Will Drive Up To You

Fast food drive-thrus are certainly convenient. Now, imagine not even having to steer into that narrow driveway, or exerting yourself stepping on the gas. McDonald’s Brazil, and agency DPZ&T, took their fast food to the streets, with a mobile drive-thru window.

Unfortunately named, the Drive-Thruck, it contains all kinds of Mickey-D goodies, and even has the standard pay and pick-up windows.

Hopefully they don’t forget your fries, because they probably won’t be there when you return. Please watch.

Graffiti Created With Rotten Fruits and Vegetables

Brazilian graffiti artist Narcelio Grud recently left his spray paint cans at home, and instead used decomposing fruits and vegetables to create his urban art.

The project and short film Tropical Hungry sees Grud scour for leftovers at local markets. Grud then collects and separates his produce/paint by color, finds a blank wall, and gets to work. See the process in the video below.

Cool Off With a Sprite Shower

To help promote their fizzy lemon/lime beverage, Sprite created a beach shower to look like a giant soda fountain. With help from Ogilvy Brasil, beachgoers in Rio were able to pretend they were disposable drinking cups and cool off.

Although it was merely water coming out — actual Sprite would’ve just gotten you all limony.
