Stupid bin freshener advert on TV

Has anybody seen the advert (just been on tv) for some sort of bin freshener?

It shows a kitchen pedal bin, full to the brim with rotting food, banana skins etc, and the woman opens the bin, sprinkles the powder in, on top of the rotting food, presumably in an effort to stop the bad smells.

I could suggest a far healthier and cheaper solution - empty the flipping bin!

Comments

  • Apart from that, many councils insist that all waste food products now go into recycling bins, and putting bin powder on the food or just putting the waste into the general rubbish would probably result in the householder getting a snotty letter (or worse) from some council jobsworth.
