Most people say 'Piccadilly' without ever wondering what the word means. 'Actually' calls that out, and the Tube sign shows how everyday the name is. Then 'you won't guess' dares you to try, and when you can't, you click.
How the packaging works
Title
'Actually' is the key word, since it tells you the name you use without thinking has a real meaning nobody ever told you.
Thumbnail
The Tube roundel is known far beyond London, so it names the place with no face needed, and 'you won't guess' turns the title's question into a dare.
Remix this
When your topic is a word or name your audience uses every day without knowing its meaning, show it where they see it. Ask what it actually is in the title, and dare them to guess.
The transferable lesson
Question the word everyone uses but nobody has looked up.
