Metonymy Example


This is a great example of metonymy. It uses the world apple, which is the flavor of the advertised vodka, and substitutes the fruit word for the city word (the big apple). It was very challenging to find images using this advertising technique because it's used and not really thought about post advertisement viewing - at least for me. Many absolut advertisements use this technique and the company is known for their unique advertising.
