A soda salesman staggers back from Saudi Arabia, looking like he just chugged a warm can of regret.
His buddy spots him and says, “Whoa—why the long face? Did your Coke go flat… or did you?”
The salesman sighs: “My whole campaign bombed harder than a dropped soda can in a silent library.”
“What?! But I heard you had a killer pitch!”
“Oh, I did!” he groans. “Since I don’t speak Arabic, I went full silent-movie genius. I designed three posters to tell the story:
Poster 1: Guy chugging the new Coke—alive, energized, practically doing backflips.
Poster 2: Same guy enjoying a refreshing sip.
Poster 3: Him flat on his back in the desert, totally passed out from dehydration.
I plastered those bad boys everywhere. You couldn’t sneeze in Riyadh without seeing my ads!”
His friend blinks. “Wait… that sounds amazing! What went wrong?”
The salesman slumps further.
“Turns out… they read from right to left. So the story they saw was:
‘Drink this magical soda… feel okay for a sec… then collapse and die in the desert.’”
His friend winces. “Yikes. So instead of selling refreshment… you sold a public health warning?”
“Pretty much,” the salesman mutters. “Now the Ministry of Health wants to ban my ‘energy drink’… and I think I’m on an Interpol watchlist.”
