killing time

In his job as an advertising research analyst, Blake spends his work-days focusing primarily on telecommunications ads. Our evening conversations are sprinkled with news of this company's latest ad campaign and that company's hilarious new commercial. So it wasn't too surprising when, this afternoon, standing on the subway platform waiting for our train, this AT&T ad hanging on the wall caught his eye:


It's one of their "More Bars in More Places" ads, Blake explained to me. And then he asked, "Can you find all the bars?"

Together we scrutinized the picture, and together we found more bars than we bargained on. I'm not going to tell you how many, except to again say that it was quite a few, because I want to ask you:

How many bars can you find?

If you want to play along, post your guesses in the comments section. (You might want to click on the photo to enlarge it.) I'll share the answer we came up with in a day or so.
