Cardinal Richelieu Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 So in the USA, drinkers of Red Bull could be entitled to compensation over the fact that despite assurances given by the adverts, Red Bull doesn't actually give you wings. http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/29550003 So what other adverts have been telling us lies? Carlsberg's "Probably the best beer in the world" springs to mind, although I don't know how you'd go about disproving it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamiet Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 I think the "probably" is there to stop anyone trying to claim false advertising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby Skidmarks Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 You can disprove Carlsberg by tasting it. I doubt they drink Um Bungo in the Congo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardinal Richelieu Posted October 10, 2014 Author Share Posted October 10, 2014 I doubt they drink Um Bungo in the Congo. Au contraire. Denis Sassou Nguesso himself was well known to scoop a couple of cartons of the stuff in parliament. "The car in front is a Toyota" isn't always true though. I was stuck behind a Ford Focus on the road into work yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ford used "Everything we do is driven by you" despite the fact I've never driven a Ford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamthebam Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Irn Bru is not made from girders. It's made from carbonated water, sugar and various flavourings. "Kids will do anything for Dairylea"- couldn't stand the stuff when I was a child and got it in my packed lunch. My mate got mini-rolls in his packed lunch and I would much rather have had them than some shitey processed cheese. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zen Archer (Raconteur) Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 There was an advertising jingle that went 'it's so big you've got to grin to get it in' I later found out it was for Waggon Wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Secret Escapes clearly isn't the tourism industry's best keep secret, not helped by the fact they're advertising it to millions at peak time on national television. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jock001 Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Take two bottles into the shower? I never go anywhere with less than two bottles. That had to be one of the dumbest slogans in advertising history. 'Take 2 bottles into the shower?'. Naw, just my shower gel so a wanky shampoo can GTF.
