You don't understand, everything is Tom Daley'ed at the moment. Not that the BBC is gayed up, but, the little fruit is featured everywhere. Rebecca Adlington has been dropped wholesale for twinky boy Daley. He's much cuter and more advertise-able then Morph.
Living in a house with people who buy fat-free versions of foods that need the fat to be edible. Fat-free cream cheese? YUK!

Ick. When I did the share housing thing everyone mostly bought their own stuff with the exception of basica like sugar and salt etc. Solves the problem of having to eat what everyone else likes.
I have a live-in job so I kind of have to eat what my employers buy. I got them to stop buying skimmed milk, at least.

Are you something like a nanny?
My neighbours waking me up in the middle of the night by deciding to have a tipsy conversation on the lawn. One of them does something illegal at least once a week and if they wake me again it's an anonymous call to Crime Stoppers.

Why use Go You Own Way to sell tea? Haven't they actually listened to the words in the song? It's not about how nice tea is.

Similarly, Here Come the Girls is not an anthem to female empowerment, it's a song about a lascivious bloke.

Don't you find adding a spoonful of sugar to stuff helps it go down?
In both cases it doesn't matter. They both sound like they fit what they're advertising. Meaning is in the ear of the behearer.

Having seen those adverts I suspect it's actually a warning.

True in those particular cases, but I doubt they would get away with an ad for joining the Scouts with the lyrics 'Do you wanna be in my gang?'.
I hate anything 'skimmed' or 'healthy low fat' I can look after my diet without needing these items at all.
It's a massive market borne out of feeding people's neurosis of getting fat or having a heart attack, fat free normally equals taste free as well, ya got to have real butter on yer mash...all in moderation...end of.
True, always women 'muffin tops' etc. I must admit I know more guys with this complaint, their pants fastened way bellow a big belly!
