The misleading ads in TV

India

The ads in TV are misleading in many respects. I see one ad about a hand wash, that says it kills 99.9% of germs in 10 seconds and it changes color to green; my grand kids keep washing hands so many times. There are ads about the so called ‘energy-drinks’; I know they contain flour and molasses basically plus flavors chocolate etc; but they sell the same product in attractive pickings, telling one is for men, another for women, another for kids with ‘memory-boosters’. There are washing powders and bars that claim to clean your bucketful of clothes spotless clean; just with one table spoonful. There are dish washing bars and liquids that can clean your utensil shining as new. Many claim to have lime in it, but what I know is; they have lemon grass oil. One shaving cream says, ‘one drop is enough’, but is hoax too. [b]So why this bogus ads, to make people fool; yes many believe in those; I never did. What is the scenario in your country? Please respond and share your valued opinion and comments. [/b] Thanks in advance. Professor Dr. B.Saraf. PhD. ‘HAPPY VALENTINE DAY IN ADVANCE’ Cheers have a lucky day ahead.

And what about all the E numbers that some of the products they promote for children contain? But fail to warn parents of what some E numbers can do to their kids. The hidden ingredients. Adverts are rather like contracts, unless you read the smallprint you are tricked into thinking the product is a miracle and a must have!

Yes you are right friend, they tell many things in very small prints, thanks for pointing out.
