		|  |  |  |  | ABSOLUT CLICHÉ is the newest ad in the ABSOLUT MANDRIN SERIES.  It's on page 5 0f the 3/3/01 issue of Billboard magazine.  The ad shows 3 Red Delicious apples and 3 bottles of Absolut Mandrin vodka in the typical Mandrin-ad presentation: blue background/white spotlight.  Steve Bronstein photographed this ©2001 ad. 
 A cliché is defined as an expression that lots of people say and conveys some sort of message.  Here the cliché alluded to is "comparing apples and oranges" meaning "making a mistake by comparing 2 things that are not the same".  Here the oranges are represented by the bottles of Mandarin Orange flavored vodka.
