Nando's latest ad campaign takes a cheap, sanitised shot at a rival

The restaurant chain has transformed a public service announcement into a shot at a close rival, and it’s a pretty impressive piece of marketing.

I’ll leave the below tweet to speak for itself.

I mean, how do you come back from that?

Understandably, Twitter users, who’ve been bombarded by Covid-19 news all week, sought some relief in the joke.
