homesteady: Harpic - for washing toilet! In the advert - pour harpic on the suface of your WC, leave for ten minutes, scrub, then flush! And your WC will be sparkling white!
In reality, if you like leave it for 24hours, the stain will not go!

They spend so much doing adverts, when the products are less in quality & standard. They must always add music to every advert. Dunno why they can't copy the whites in good things

chindi: Happy Independence Day Nairalanders.
I want to use this medium to expose some of the tv commercials that doesn't work as advertised. Below is a list of the adverts:

DETERGENTS: Most adverts on detergents (if not all) doesn't truely work as advertised. Ariel, Omo, Klin, among others 'one wash' adverts are scams. I have used most of the detergents on tough stains but 'e no dey comot once'. I'll have to change water and rewash all over before the stains will be removed (after hard scrubbing until my flesh peel comot).

VICKS BLUE: '...Vicks blue go sama dat ur cough and catarrh one time...' I've tried this when I had cough and catarrh but it doesn't work. At times, I end up taking a dozen of vicks blue all to no avail. If you have tried taking just one and it worked for you just lemme know.

ONGA: ...mama's helping hand. The advert shows that when you use Onga seasoning on any meal, it turns out delicious, chei! What if say na potty I dey cook, so if I just add onga d food go sweet, abegi! Tell me something else. Well, all na advert sha.

PANADOL: From the advert, when you take panadol for pain relief, you will be relieved immediately, ONE TIME! I have taken panadol when I had headache but I wasn't relieved of the pain immediately, I had to rest for a while before I regained 'my head'.
More will be sent, not until you post yours.

Long live Nairalanders
Long live Nigerians
Happy Independence!

Many thanks for your apt post. But I think much more than exposing their scams, you can bring an action against them. For instant the omo advert.
