“And Amoco, which had for years made a clear colored fuel, decided to capitalize on the trend”

Come on now, a CLEAR COLORED fuel? Do you realize how stupid that sounds?

I don’t think it was Subaru that put the roll cage in it’s car before having the moster truck roll over it. I think that was actually Volvo.

Does anyone remember the Subaru commercials where one of their cars was run over by a monster truck and didn’t collapse? They found later that Subaru had put a roll cage in the car.

Reposting this: Didn’t seem to go through …

The most outrageous one of all is Dr. John R. “Goat Glands” Brinkley, who performed over 16,000 goat testicle transplants … into human men! The claim was that aged men could regain youthful vigor and the legendary randiness of goats. It made him fabulously rich. He also had his own radio station, and a chain of pharmacies based on his quackery.

But oh, hey, if we’re talking false advertising, walk into any church and listen to the stories THEY tell.

Anyone remember that old SNL commercial for Crystal Gravy? That summed up the country’s “clear” obsession perfectly.

I must take issue with the treatment of Dr Koch’s Cure-All, it’s quite clearly a highly -efficient homeopathic remedy, they just didn’t have the ability to recognise it as such at the time. Or it was a conspiracy by scientists to cover up the truth. Or something like that :)

I feel violated to discover that they don’t really drink Um Bongo in the Congo, nor will some bloke offer to be my dog if I wave a bottle of Kia-Ora around.
