Here’s why.

  1. Good shampoo leaves behind only 3 grains of dandruff in the graphic, as opposed to the competition’s 20.
  2. Detergents have to have an obscure Preparation-X like magic ingredient (Tinopal, blue pearls, beads of heavenly joy).
  3. A pack of chips is always opened neatly and precisely, with chips right up to the brim.
  4. Ads for toilet bowl cleaning fluids always have a demonstration.
  5. Half-Hindi-Half-English taglines and jingles.
  6. 9 out of 10 dentists/doctors/specialists recommending a product. Makes you want to know the back story of the 10th guy. 10th Dentist, what have you got against Colgate?
  7. “Mutualfundinvestmentsaresubjecttomarketrisks…”.
