More strange and silly advertising claims from the land of Oz, for your general amusement ...
( taken from "Choice" consumer magazine )


-- Cotten Blanket --
Warm in summer, cool in winter

Just what you need if you find summer is too cool and winter is too warm.


-- Microwave Oven --
Comes with exterior cabinet and interior cavity

Didn't know it was possible to build them any other way !!


-- Lancer GLi Coupe 1.5 Litre Car--
Value!! includes CD player, immobiliser, engine, power steering, ...

Don't know about you, but I would be pretty upset if the car I bought didn't have an engine ..


-- "Bus Coaches for Hire" --
For conferences, sporting and social, tours and transfers, school executions

I knew discipline was getting strict in schools, but this is a bit too much.


-- Fitness Centre --
You will recieve: $59 per month, No joining fee ...

At last, a gym that pays you to visit it !!

And saving the best for last:


-- printed on coffee jar label--
Best enjoyed 4-6 weeks after opening ...

It seems as if you have to open the jar, then wait 4-6 weeks before you can make yourself a cup? No way !!

The funny thing is, I bet if you call up the companies and ask them, they'll back up their commercials 100%. *shakes head*
