I don't normally watch live tv but right now I'm at the mercy of the Xmas tv planners. Today I switched on and found myself in front of an ad for Airwick Pure.
Apparently, most aerosols contain water which 'falls down' and spoils 'the experience'. This brilliantly incisive text is accompanied by pictures of a woman spraying an aerosol and then watching as her hair turns frizzy. Is that a unique selling point these days? Having straight hair?
Just another couple of comments from a non-scientist:
1 Aerosols are not a good idea if you care about the environment, not to mention being bad for the health of people with asthma. My own biggest problems are: cigarette smoke, smelly candles and the stuff people spray in their houses.
2 You don't need to spray your house. It isn't so dirty you have to mask your smells with another smell from an aerosol. Even if you keep 4 big hairy dogs and a couple of hairy men, you should be okay if you just hoover and open a friggin window from time to time. If you don't believe me that we over-clean, you need to watch an episode of 'Obsessive Compulsive Cleaners.'
3 There's a limit to the nonsense advertising agencies can tell us and I reckon Airwick have reached that limit with this ad. I've said it before and no doubt will say it again:
Is your last comment no' why Airwick are still in business?
