DHL Pranked UPS Into Advertising For Them (Trojan Mailing)

This is so funny and a brilliant idea for whoever thought it up, but I doubt it could happen again

The prank was simple and brilliant. DHL hired companies like UPS and TNT to deliver large black boxes to addresses that were particularly difficult to find. But the boxes weren't actually black. Instead, they were covered with a temperature-activated ink that appeared black when the boxes were chilled to sub-zero temperatures at the time of pickup. But as they warmed up in the back of delivery trucks, the black ink faded revealing a large message on the side of the boxes boasting that "DHL is faster."

HA!






Whoever thought that up deserves a raise.

LOL! The one guy who taped his box up must be a "company man". The rest of them just didn't really seem to care!

Nice!

THAT is TOO frikkin funny, you see the look on the delivery guys faces? They're like, damn how am I gonna live this down?

Brilliant! I was waiting for one of them to toss the package out of the truck or down a flight of stairs.
