So getting their sums wrong gets them this extra publicity. I can't see them sacking their advertising agency.

Who cares about that. Publicising the error is actually quite important. I will be using that ad in one of my classes soon (when I teach, which I don't much, it's Maths).

Are you sure its Nature Valley who have got their sums wrong.

Perhaps "Deliciousness" is compounded rather than simple addition

Also the ad only says they "wanted" to increase deliciousness by 200%, it does'nt say they were succesfull

There's no such thing as bad publicity!

They have pulled a great stunt here.

166million

They are on BOGOF at Tesco's at the moment

"BOGOF AT TESCO"

So that would be an increase of 300% on the original offering then?? :rotfl:
