Adverts That Remind You You're a Twonk

[Teddy Eagle]

Gillette advertising meeting.

"Hey, I've a great idea why don't we insult every white straight male on the planet. We can call them bad fathers, sexists and misogynistic etc. I mean it's not as if that is our biggest and most profitable market"

It's an odd concept. Like a make up advert saying, "You're probably a bit of a munter so slap this all over your face as a disguise and you'll have more chance of getting some bloke to pay for your drinks".

The Johnnie Walker Black label one which claims it tastes of toffee and caramel and rich fruit. Does it? And what does a touch of smoke taste like anyway?
It tastes like whisky to me.

Genius Teddy, I didn’t know you worked in advertising 🤣

Doesn't looks hard does it?
"You're probably a bit of a dimbo so buy this. Face it, you might as well because you'll only waste your money on some other rubbish anyway and it contains Carabantacoids and Hystomorophide and some other nonsense we've made up".

Any ads for water which claim it's been filtered through a glacier for 10,000 years and has a use by date of next January.

Agreed. I hate these store cards. My local is Sainsbury I resisted getting a Nectar card for many years until they started their two tier pricing (So that's where Starmer got the idea from), I had no choice but to get one.

Personally I would make pricing like that illegal, as you say it forces you to hand over personal data.

The difference is the Nectar prices are lower than the real retail price and good savings whereas the Tesco prices often aren’t.

It has actually gone through seven people prior to you drinking it.

Isn't that supposed to just be tap water? In any case provided those seven didn't all have kidney problems it'll be well filtered.

i feel sorry for the feckers who will be getting that water after its passed through me.

 

[Badger11]

Sorry I don't get your point?

Do we get to choose the seven ladies? Asking for a friend.

I can easily put it in a bottle.

That happened to one of those yoghurt drinks quite a few years ago, made up a long name to promote it . . . Activusbifodus.

Never been that fussy, as long as it doesn't have bits floating in it.

Bifidus Digestivum was copyrighted by someone like Activia or Danone which instantly cast doubt on the science.

But somewhere there'll be someone liberally applying creatine to their hair and wolfing down Bifidus Digestivum like they're being turned immortal.

Or take W. C. Fields' advice - Never drink water. Fish **** in it.
