Brand gives product to reenactorsfrom @grillospickles
[01]
Overview
The creator, holding a jar of Grillo's Pickles, approaches a group of British Redcoat historical reenactors on a beach and offers them the pickles as "rations." One of the reenactors tries a pickle and confirms he likes the brand. The creator then offers the reenactor a green Grillo's t-shirt, which the soldier accepts and puts on over his historical uniform, creating a humorous anachronistic visual.
