Two Rants About Adverts!

This thing they are all doing where they put '83% of 106 people agreed' - hardly a representative study is it? What about the other 17% who didn't?

Then there are the ones where people have been invited to try a shower gel or food in a taste test, and now the washing of those big sheets - do they think we are all so stupid as to not realise they are set up by the company? Why are they allowed to do it when its not real - surely this is fraud? Advertising is supposed to be honest and truthful!

They are obviously using industrial washing machines to wash that huge sheet. It is probably the machine and not their crappy detergent that makes it clean.

Tell the Advertising standards Authority if you think you see one that is not legal, decent, honest, and truthful.

What about the other 17% who didn't anyway ? The didn't agree, and it has been admitted.

What about the stuff that kills 99.9% of germs - shouldn't they tell us which germs it doesn't kill then we can find something else to kill them?

But who wouId want to buy a produce that 17% of the peopIe who tried it said it didn't work? If it was only 0.1% I might be tempted to take the risk but if so many don't agree, then maybe they need to go back to the drawing board.
