its been out for ages. basically some industrial cleaner sold to the public :lol: its like acid, it says you can clean floor tiles but dont get it on the grouting :lol: good for degreasing engines apparently 👍
 
:lol: I always found those adverts a little cheesy, and i wonder of the dangerous side effects of such a product. It reminds me a GTA style spoof ad.

Charie says always....
 
A few of us managed to get the original advert changed.

It used to go "LIMESCALE IS SIMPLY CALCIUM THAT STICKS!" *drops large lump of stuff labelled "Calcium" into pink water*, followed by an inane comment about how, if CIllit Bang could do this to a large lump of "Calcium", just imagine what it'd be like in your kettle.


Of course limescale is, primarily, calcium carbonate, and if you were to drop a lump of calcium the size of an otter's head into water, you could say goodbye to your eyebrows and quite a large section of your face.

The advert now cuts away from "Barry" and adds the word "carbonate" mid-sentence. Go us!
 
:lol: that was good Kurtis

Famine, luckly for Cillit bang most of us dont take much notice to those types of ad's so they've got away with it. Well not really because they still had to edit their ad...
 
That was so ****ing irritating and also because it wasn't even pronounced like I though it would be or be about. :grumpy: :dopey:

Talking of getting adverts changed, did anyone else write to the National Lottery about their "misleading" advert? The actress said that buying a lottery ticket increased your chances of winning 100%, which is blatantly false. It increases your chances infinitely, but you're not guaranteed to win, so the chances haven't increased 100% (i.e. from 0% to 100%). Obviously I only wrote in for a laugh, but I noticed the advert never ran with that wording again.
 
Seen that long time ago, but it never fails to bring me a laugh! :lol:

That ad-campaign was run in Finland also, and it was dubbed in Finnish. That made it one of the cheesiest ads on tv! Horrible lipsync+pretended enthusiasm=bad ad

Lmao. What if he DID use real calcium while filming the commercial? You'd have Cillit Bang all right... :lol:

We've had cheezy advertisements like that for about 10-15 years now, ever since it was okay to use a special car wax, and then light your car's hood on fire.

Blame a fellow named Ron Popeil (sp?)...
 
Popeil is behind oxy clean and all that crap, too? Wow.

I remember when they shined that death-laser on the car with that wax. stupidass host almost got lazer'd. Burned his tie off.

So why would you want to do that!

Nobody knows, but some Americans have an abnormal fascination with fire, for some reason.
