The advertisement features a cropped image of a man's eyes, which are looking toward a plastic glasses case. Below, a cropped image shows a woman's eyes looking toward a fruitcake in a plastic container. The accompanying text describes the use of Styron in packaging materials and other products. A small sidebar contains a testimonial from "Sue and Jack Hoffman."
