Pierce 'James Bond' Brosnan's retirement planning: Pan Bahar Pan Masala!

Waking up to weird ads is not new, but today's Pan Bahar ad wins the award for shocking an entire nation.

Clearly, Mr Pierce ' James Bond' Brosnan is over that martini, and has moved on to pan masala!

For the uninitiated (i.e. if you've been living under a rock), Hollywood actor Pierce Brosnan holding a can of pan masala is what the nation woke up to today.

Ads splashed across newspapers, hoardings, and on YouTube have left the internet in a dizzy.

Thank you for the laughs, Mr. Bond:
