This could be a weekly or bi-weekly thing where we copy SA and do a little bit of Photoshop Friday here. I suggest as a trial we do "what if Kimmo worked in advertising" theme. The possibilities are endless. And I have made some stupid examples. But I'm sure you guys and girls loltraps can do much better.
I except at least one ad that wants customers they will stop selling the product if they don't continue to buy it and tell people about it.

Wild Lettuce was also used by the Romans, and Augustus was said to have raised a statue in honor of the Lettuce infusion that he claimed saved his life. The story goes that Roman emperor Augustus supposedly constructed a statue of a physician who had recommended lettuce to treat him of a serious ailment. While it is not comprehensible which variety of lettuce cured the emperor, it is believed that the herb was wild lettuce.

The history of Wild Lettuce can be traced way back to the ancient Egyptians. Lettuce was depicted on Egyptian paintings 4500 years B.C and the Egyptian god of fertility, Min, is closely tied to the plant and he is often depicted holding a rosette of Lactuca serriola. Min was the god of the desert, of lightening and sandstorms, in addition to being known as the god of procreation and fertility. The lettuce and the phallus symbolically represented Min.

The plant should be used with caution, and never without the supervision of a skilled practitioner. Even normal doses can cause drowsiness whilst excess causes restlessness and overdoses can cause death through cardiac paralysis.

Dosage: The wild lettuce plant (or the hearts and roots of iceberg lettuce) is liquefied in a blender
until about a pint of liquid is produced. The liquid is then left in a bowl under heat lamps or the hot
sun until it has evaporated, leaving only a sticky brownish-green residue. The residue is placed in an
opium pipe and heated, with the pipe pointed downward so that the residue does not get in the stem.
The resultant white smoke is held in the lungs for about half a minute.

A big passtime of humanity is finding rollable things and trying to smoke them.
I remember when I went camping for a week with school, some kids were rolling up ordinary tree leaves and smoking them. Didn't affect them in any way though.
