ⓘ Reaches the parts that other beers can't reach Il s'agit du slogan d'une série de publicités pour la bière Heineken pendant les années 70 dans lesquelles la bière était censée conférer des pouvoirs spéciaux à ceux qui la consommaient. Aujourd'hui on utilise encore cette formule ("atteint les parties que les autres bières ne peuvent atteindre"), en remplaçant le mot beers par un autre pour décrire les qualités de quelque chose de façon humoristique. On dira par exemple she makes tea that reaches the parts that other tea cannot reach ("elle fait du thé vraiment excellent"), ou this tour reaches the parts of Scotland that others don't ("ce circuit touristique explore les coins d'Écosse que les autres ignorent").
