Personally, I hate the whole "Weasel Word" ordeal. I mean it pisses me off that they make false claims to us as consumers. They are basically seling us things under false pretenses. Don't you think? Seriously, when you purchase something you want your money worth, right?
Its like selling a shirt to a fat woman saying that it will "help" her look smaller, only whn she puts it on, she looks even bigger than she did before. The word "help" is so tricky. Advertisers use this often; this product will "help....". Will help do what, when and how?
Another thing is this word "virtually". We as people are so blind by these falsly beautified ads that we forget to read between the lines, we don't see the subliminal messages.
Okay, whats up with the word "new and improved". What make this product so new? Just because you give t a new scent doesn't make it new. That makes it improved, when you think new you think changed like pair of shoes. Take jordans for example when a new shoe comes out its a different style, not a new color.
These are all false!!!!!! Be careful the next time you decide to buy something! Wouldn't it be great if we could sue these companies for lying to us?
