Halim goes smart with the National Anthem for Independence Day!

Take Maliks and his silly riddles (here), then take Halim (first here) now the above. Halim, truth be told is on fire. Now that Independence Day is approaching, Halim went with - the gratuitous but very smart hint - of the Lebanese National Anthem. The quizz is simple - or rather deceptively simple - what comes after the two words in the Halim ad which are taken from the anthem? Truth be told, our national anthem's lyrics (courtesy of Rashid Nakhle) are nothing but very - as in very - convoluted. So guessing the next two words is, a bit memory searching, a bit ChatGPT searching, a bit Google search as well. But still - the ad (which has a third installment I did not picture) is in White/Red/Green - the colours of the national flag (a nice gimmick!). Apparently you win something if you answer correctly. But beyond the gifts, Halim is on to something - without silly riddles.

Halim aces its back to school ads

Halim! Yes, that Halim, the one that had the ubiquitous jingle during the time of war. Well, Halim is back, and is back is beautiful ads. Three ads actually. And the three of them are so nice. All right, where do we start? "to the one who cheats, to the one who does not" "to the one who doesn't give a hoot, and to the nerd" "to the one who is lost and to the wise one" - interestingly the slang Arabic used is lovely, though I am not sure "belou3" is still used these days
