I tryed to find it on youtube to share and found this one ~ Bumber carts !!!!!! :rolleyes: The pinball one is the same but its pinballs and the catch line is ~ you can keep on playing :confused:

    I would say that its meant to symbolise the fact they dont leak...

    To be far its not the makers fault, they arent allowed to show blood on the adverts - hence they always use water and there are loads of other stupid rules too!

    Thanks Becky I understand the concept and I guess most of the public that watch these things will 'get it' too. However its just so wrong on so many levels. I mean its like me producing an advert for beef burgers having purely chickens featured in the advert :confused: The two just dont connect do they? But maybe I am just strange :confused:
