Flashback, 15th April 2009, the Smart on Steroids

Among the events set up for a day since the beginning of the year. Burn Day posed then as an alternative to Red Bull and came to the plazza to get public awarness by targeting the thousands of rank-and-file office staffers who populate the surrounding building at day time.


A congenial crew was soon busy in giving away samples.
In order to both keep the samples fresh when stored and
to get something coming as handy as an attention getter
they brought the proof that

a compact Smart can also run on steroids ...
