What ads do you disbelieve the most?

For me it's those ones that tell me that if I use a certain shampoo or conditioner I am gonna look like an 18 year old model! I mean, come on. I never once looked like that anyhow. Even at it's most basic level it's idiotic, I DO use that stuff but only when it's on special but I never have hair that looks like it's been oiled and that I can swirl around my head like very attractive seaweed! Good grief!
 
any and all "healthy food" and every other ad tbh i hate ads the only thing more anoying than ad is my hatred for them making me channel flick during the break , get into something else and miss the rest of what i was watching
 
The ones that show fantastic skin and hair and then you read the small print at the bottom of the adblvert saying that 7 out of 15 people agreed!! Did they really only test 15 people etc? Or were there another 6000 that they decided to ignore?
Personally I ignore all tv food, hair and body adverts and wouldnt buy anything from them. The only advert that would lead me in to a shop was if it showed a fantastic reduction for a diy tool or paint or a nice outfit.. Even then I would check it out online before believing.

Cilit Bang! The penny test is a load of bobbins! I submersed a 2 pence piece for 48 hours in an experiment and it hardly made a difference!
 
I don't believe the Muller rice advert.

A bear as talented as that would not be working in an office.
 
I must be really minging because I don't clean my 2p pieces I just give them to people in shops in exchange for cauliflowers.
 
you dont clean your 2p`s? you are cillit bangs worse nightmare, i have cillit bang wipes i keep in my pocket for when i get change in the shop and just cant bear to wait till i get home
 
Makes you wonder though what they put in the cilit bang. Reminds me of the thing where you put a tooth in a glass of coke and it disappears. Yikes!
