A single transparent decal with multiple images would be a lot more practical and durable

Because kids are pros.
Pretty bold of Apple to appeal directly to kids. Sure, those stickers can be used by adults too, but would you put any of those stickers on an ad for alcohol?

It's a Korean ad. Have you met 20-somethings, or even 30-something, Koreans?
