Hasn't been the real thing since they removed cocaine from the formulation!

To be honest, there is quite a lot of stuff in nature that doesn't smell too pleasant and that you really wouldn't want in your shower gel.

Mind you, the other day I was tempted to an oven roasted chicken for lunch.
Although I'm not sure what other roasting methods are available..?

Spit roasting.

Hasn't been the real thing since they removed cocaine from the formulation!

Nor since they changed the colour.

"Vine grown tomatoes."

Well, I bloody hope so.

Bifidus digestivum.

Cant remember which product used that bullsh*t in its advert but it's become the phrase we use in our house for all marketing bullsh*t ever since

Good bacteria. Yacholt?

 

[glasgowcyclist]

Good bacteria. Yacholt?

Aye, possibly. It was either Yakult or Actimel, both nonsense.

Marketing BS often found on eBay listings.

Light patina = it’s fecked
Good condition for age = it’s fecked
Needs TLC = it’s fecked
This will come up with polishing = it’s fecked.
l'eroica = it’s really fecked
Great barn find = it’s beyond fecked

You forgot "Nice Project" and "Rare"

You forgot "Nice Project" and "Rare"

Ah yes!

= They’re fecked, chuck em in the Skip

 

[Ming the Merciless]

Good project for someone - it is fecked.

You buy one, you get one free, you but one, you get one free, you buy one...

I’ve just found this on my shower gel.
100% nature inspired fragrance

What does that mean? Are we supposed to believe it is 100% natural? It is just weasel words.

Any other examples of this sort of meaningless rubbish.

Globaaaaaaltiiiii!

This is your department. Please explain yourself.

"nothing works better than..."

Save your money, nothing works better.

 

[craigwend]

You buy one, you get one free, you but one, you get one free, you buy one...

a) You buy one at 200%, so we give you a 'free one'
b) we've got too much stock and we can get rid of some at last using (a)

Cycling has a few meaningless marketing terms. I dislike 'hybrid' as its so wide its meaningless; you can have a flat bar road bike or 700c front suspension mtb but they are both marketed as hybrids
