The original invitation to the squid game was a circle, triangle, square.
Dominos has shown their twist by making the circle into a pizza, the triangle into a pizza slice, and the square into their new slogan ‘’ it all about you’’.
6. Marygold HL Milk
In a scene of squid game, they were handing out milk, and as a man said he is lactose intolerant he needed chocolate milk as an alternative but they denied his request
The way Marigold HL Milk has made the scene into a clever comedic ad is by saying “ they may not have chocolate milk, but we do’’
7. Gillette
If the objective of Squid Game is to stay as long as possible in the arena. The brand has found a funny and effective way to praise the lifespan of its blades: "We do not know about you but Mach 3 Turbo will last up to 15 shaves".
