Always cracks me up when I hear it on those Danone ads. Can anyone else think of other ridiculous ingredients, technology or wording in general from adverts ? The Mach III ads sometimes have some good ones.

Isnt there one...bifidus digestedon...or something along those lines.

May contain Nuts. always cracks me up.

Beauty products... small print - "results based on 73 women tested". FFS rub horse manure on the face of 100 women and 73 of them will agree that it made their lashes longer, removed wrinkles and cellulite, gave them multiple orgasms and made Barry's Tea taste nicer.

Just pigging out here on a large bag of fruit pastilles, and it lists amongst the ingredients "nettle and spinach concentrates"

I like broad sweeping all inclusive statements, like scientists agree, doctors have proven, or "the stupidity of...americans."

They're living yeasts or bacteria aren't they...

But I wonder if they were biologically weakened so they'ld only have to last so long, then you have to buy the product again ?

Surely if you needed that bacteria in your gut, and it was receiving enough food of the type it required, it could reproduce and continue to work after one dose ? Any food technologists or biologists in the house to confirm that suspicion ?

See if you recognise this crap:

1. Fine lines and wrinkles
2. Rough skin texture
3. Uneven skin tone
4. Skin dullness
5. Visible pores
6. Blotches and age spots
7. Skin dryness

Pighead's not sure as to who is the owner of that crap. Any pics? The wrinkles and skin dullness would lead Pighead to hazard a guess that maybe it's one Thaedydldydls. Best ask Flutter. He'll probably know for definite who owns it.

I hate the the whole anti-ageing ads considering they are all a lie.

The recent buzzword with them is "pentipeptides" which is actually funny because they have no anti-ageing benefits whatsoever...a "pentipeptide" is 5 amino acids...there are pentipeptides in meat so I could just bottle a steak and sell it and it would have the same benefits as any L'Oreal product..

And the other skin cream ads can get away with advertising them as anti-ageing (even though they contain no actual anti-ageing ingredients) is because they add suncream into the cream which the Advertising Standards Authority say counts as anti-ageing because it protects from UV Rays...

Lactobacillus casei is a bacteria in the gut that produces lactic acid to help beneficial bacteria grow. But they don't survive very long so you must buy a dozen yoghurts every week, and pronounce them "yoggert" as well.

Kent cigarettes with the Micronite filter: The Greatest Health Protection In Cigarette History!

Kent's vaunted 'Micronite' filter was made with asbestos. Fair enough, at the time they didn't know the ill-effects of asbestos, but the irony of this is that exposure to tobacco smoke combined with asbestos results in almost absolute certainty of death at a young age (early 50s) from lung cancer and/or asbestosis.

Who knows where this l casei and biffidus nonsense will lead to... lol

Zillah · 27-03-2009 04:31AM

No. Seriously. Everyone stop talking crap, I tried looking this up before. I want to know if L. Casei Immunitas is actually a thing or if they're getting away with horrendous bullshit advertising.

What does actimel actually do?

Zillah · 27-03-2009 04:35AM

Yeah.

Just for the record, this isn't advertised in the States, so they are obviiously appealing to a 'dumber demographic'.

Yes it is a thing,
think of it as a sort of copyright on a product that makes over a billion a year

is it good for you ? - probably
is it better than other similar products ? - probably not
are any of them better for you than ordinary yoghurt ? - probably not

would you be better off buying ordinary yoghurt and spending the price premium it commands on fruit and veg ? yes

This stuff is far better than crap like Sunny D ,that has less than 10% real fruit and so much colouring that kids change colour if they drink too much !

Look at my previous post, Carlsberg have their own yeast. But that's something that dates from the 19th century and was an internal quality thing.

Sunny D was actually named New Product of the Decade (1990s) in Ireland.

Two million orange babies couldn't have been wrong !!

Marketing bollix. I especially hate the cartoon advertisments targeting children.
'Actimelization' indeed...!

And their "at this time of year, your defences can be weakened" and they have a different one for different seasons!

Not saying the information isn’t true, but you have to wonder why a person who posts information on Wikipedia can’t even spell the product they’re trying to warn people about.

It does not necessarily be Actinimel, but may also be other yogurts.

Remember an ad about a year ago, for face cream "DNAge" or something, which made the claim that it alters your DNA to make you look younger.

Now, I'm no scientest, but I'm sure that
a. DNA stays the same, no matter what age you are
and
b. The only way a face cream could alter your DNA, were if it were made of nuclear waste.

Contains L.casei Imunitass...
