There are many, many things—including the backs of cereal boxes, the health waivers at my gym, and the privacy policies of websites—that I read more closely than a Chinese menu slipped under my door.

Still, you have to admire the design of this advertisement from the agency Toy. That's not a takeout menu—it's an ad for J&R Music and Computer World, advertising their same-day delivery.

Effective? Who knows. Awesome visual? We think so!
