# UPO weather, laundry, allergy spots

UPO / Creator

Two white UPO cabinets stand against a blue ground and are drawn on in a wet black brush line, given bear faces, eyebrows and paws that treat the flat door as a sheet of paper. The tall one gathers a punnet of drawn red strawberries in a paw and tips them into an open muzzle, and the camera pushes in until the face fills the whole door and the photographed cabinet is reduced to a white field for the ink to move on. The writing does the rest: the voice-over is delivered as a forecast, "Upon säätiedotus mansikoille" ("UPO's weather forecast for strawberries"), promising a day of freezing at 24 degrees and then storage at minus 18, so a specification arrives as weather. A white banner reading UPO UUSI PAKASTUSAUTOMAATTI runs across the top, and the film pulls back to the pair before the closing card, a large figure 1 with the gold UPO mark set into it. The freezer is never opened and never demonstrated, which leaves the drawing carrying the whole performance.

What is said: Upon säätiedotus mansikoille. Odotettavissa vuorokauden 24 asteen pakastus. Ja sitten säilytystä miinus 18 asteessa tasa- Upo uudella autokontrollilla yhdellä lapin painalluksella automaattisesti. Kysy Upo asiantuntijalta. Ja Upomalleja on kymmeniä!
