"real" ingredients vent

p00hsticks

The Knorr stock cube advert with Marco Pierre White claiming that they are made from "real ingredients" has been annoying me for a while.

Now I see that Walkers are advertising some deli crisps that are also made from "real ingredients"

So what sort of ingredients would you use if you didn't have any real ones - imaginary ones ?

I suspect they mean ingredients that didn't start life in a reaction vessel.

I hate that too.

That and people looking for products without all those chemicals. :huh:

Synthetic flavourings, artificial sweeteners, monosodium glutamate & cheaper versions of things (vanillin instead of vanilla etc).

Bleuch!

What annoys me more about the MPW ad is that surely there's no way someone like him would use the product.

I don't like Michael Parkinson's "over 50's Plan" ad either - using his trusted reputation to sell a financial product that might not be the best product for a particular person.

Not sure I fancy the idea of Walkers Real Prawns Cocktail range

I just wish he would hurry up and answer the question, 20 Years on??... it cant be that tough a question.

My Pit annoyance is that orange looking bloke for Gladstone Brookes. Moreso when he he says "Not Interested??" NO I'M F'N NOT!!! I always had to flick the channel or I would go into a meltdown.

Doesn't sound very money saving either! No cover for first two years, you may pay in more than you get out and if you want to stop paying you get nothing back. A bit one sided me thinks!

I've noticed they've re-done that advert recently to be less confrontational and accusatory, not sure if they got complaints, the regulators stepped in or the old advert wore out due to overuse.:D
