Marketing is a gimmick and we all know that. In spite of this in-the-face truth, we all fall prey to promises made in ads, such is the beauty of creativity. We do have to accept that it is pretty ingenious to make one believe in the impossible. That, is what we are here to have a go at! Brace yourselves, here come the lies that TV commercials tell us, almost always, and we are guilty as charged of believing in these, almost always.
Fairness is the sole motive of existence! Resumes and qualifications be damned; a good fairness cream can land you the job of your dreams!
Move over charmers! Intellect and wit are a thing of the past now. Want to woo a girl? All you got to do is spray the XYZ deodorant and watch as the opposite sex just jumps and crawls all over you.
The deodorant spray did not work? Well, we have the “fresh blast” of the new gel toothpaste! Just spray that gloriously minty breath on his or her face and watch the magic of attraction unfold.
Having two bowls of perfectly normal cornflakes can make you lose weight in a tremendously sensual way, so you can flaunt that newly acquired Sareeworthy figure now.
Every toothpaste and hand wash is recommended by 9 out of 10 specialists. So much confusion. Which one to pick now?
Exchanging phones can actually make you understand each other better and bring you closer. Missed conference calls, assignments delayed, hah! Who cares about the loss due to number changes?
Your periods are the best time to show the world that you can climb mountains and jump over cliffs! Because doing all this on normal days is just plain old boring.
Can you think of anymore? We’d love to hear from you.
