Stupid pseudo science labelling on stuff.

Especially bad in women's beauty products.

"Contains Relaximol" type patter. Its straight out the Simpsons really.

"54% of women agreed this relaxed them.  Study contained 26 women"

That's me convinced.

Salted Caramel.

I like caramel. I like it because it tastes of caramel. I'm not suddenly interested in salt being added to it. You get salted caramel Twixes now. Twix! It already has fucking caramel in it.

Top tip for salted caramel cheapskates, go to aldi, get these and add your own salt.

Agreed. Salted caramel is rank and I am at a loss when considering its popularity.

Add gin and prosecco to that list of ubiquitousness.

Non americans saying "oo" for "u", e,g, noos for news, noomerous for numerous etc. It must take a deliberate thought process to say it, it's surely easier to say the correct pronunciation.

Much as I hate American pronunciation, I don't see any issue with the examples you've given . How else would you say News and Numerous?

News and numerous, not noos and noomerous.

People who think they've uncovered some kind of serious fraud when they learn that film-making involves a certain level of pretend. I was talking to a guy in a fly-fishing shop yesterday and made some comment about "A River Runs Through It." In a voice dripping with contempt, he told me that Brad Pitt wasn't really doing those artistic casts. No, he got a local to do it. It was all fake." 

See also: People who get upset when actors are cast to play characters of a different nationality. "Bridget Jones is supposed to be English."
