Lies!
There are official bodies to protect the consumer from over-zealous advertising companies telling us untruths to sell their clients products. So you would think that it is safe to believe what's written on the label of any product you buy from, say the supermarket. Wouldn't you? This evening my attention was drawn to an outright lie printed on the packaging of something I use everyday.
"Up to 18 hours fresh breath."
You've probably guessed I'm referring to mouthwash. Although this statement may as well be printed on a packet of hoover bags for all the truth it holds. How can they get away with so boldly claiming such nonsense? There isn't a mouthwash in the world that could last that long. When have you ever eaten lunch to find you can still taste this morning's mouthwash? When have you ever woken in the morning still feeling fresh from the previous evening's application?
I ate a curry this evening, then afterwards swigged some of this miracle mouthwash. I could taste curry again within ten minutes.
How can the mouthwash industry tell such lies? Hoover bag companies don't claim to give you up to eighteen hours clean carpet confidence now do they?
