Say What?: Commercials That Made Us Scratch Our Heads

[HyeChaps]

Please explain the Kerrygold commercial with the table

Nizoral anti-dandruff shampoo. The ad says it's "ten percent better". Period. That's it, ten percent better. Ten percent better than what? Not using it? Using another shampoo like Head & Shoulders? Makes no sense whatsoever.

Whenever I see those "4Print for certain!" commercials, I always wonder if anyone really gets excited about receiving objects with your employer's name and logo on it.

A smash burger is a thin beef patty cooked on a super-hot griddle.

But the beef patties in the photos are thick!

That could apply to so many claims made in commercials.

Less fat! Less sugar! The healthier option!

I disagree. They look thin to me.

This reminds me of a Dr. Pepper commercial from a few years back, where the slogan was, 'Diet Dr. Pepper; it tastes more like regular Dr. Pepper.' Than what??? Nuclear waste?

I hate this.  Commercials, news reports, talk show hosts, whatever - this kind of meaningless comparison is used constantly and drives me crazy.
