Twinkies
The truth is that we love our guilty pleasures. Sometimes we have to indulge in once-in-a-while treats, no matter the consequences.
Twinkies offer a brief glimpse of a perfect life: where regret-free fluffy golden goodness is a wrapper away. The taste of heaven may be fleeting or even illusory; the reality remains that Twinkies are damned good.

OUT-OF-HOME: SUBWAY TUNNEL
It's a train of Twinkies! Every car in the train has a Twinkie on the side, and the mouth of the tunnel is ready to eat every last one. A kiosk on the platform allows bystanders to take an open-mouthed picture, which is then projected onto the tunnel mouth. Ohm nom nom!
