It's a shame the post cropped the logo off the ads for the Sydney International Food festival 2009 as that was a pretty neat campaign and WHYBIN/TBWA deserve the credit. IMHO of course

They tried to make a food flag for Canada, but the poutine keeps holding referendums trying to become a side dish.

When I think of Australia, I think of a toaster pastry. Well, actually, I don't.

To add even more confusion: they don't call Turkish Delight "Delight" in Turkey. They call it Lokum.

Also, they got the number of stripes wrong in the US flag... considering they were already posing the hot dogs in such a way as to alternate bun-dog-bun-dog almost perfectly, I'm kind of surprised they didn't follow through to make the flag accurate. Of course, at the end of the day, this is a very silly quibble.
