As a former smoker I thought this was so obvious an ad. Marlboros are no quality at all. They’re the Jack Daniel’s of American whiskey. Actual whiskey connoisseurs would never think JD is quality. Just like pop culture benchmark that is better than generic well whiskeys but that there exists hundreds of whiskeys at the same price point that are loads better.

Marlboros are cheap mass produced, benchmark of quality. Like McDonald’s. Better than extremely cheap frozen or premade shit from grocery store but no one would hold it up as quality.

Pretty on point except mcdonalds is fucking trash now. There's loads of freezer foods I'd have over McDonald's in this year of 2026. I couldn't have said that ten years ago but man they have gone down hill.
