Toby, I think you are on to something here, both practice the art of trying to sell nothing for something!

Oh, now I got it. Really great products at a really great price. Guess I will have to try the 23 light modifiers immediately while they are still on sale. Perhaps if I buy all 23 I can get a deal on the other three?

Binoculars are where you see a lot of foolishness. One is the always in focus binocular, which is just fixed focus. An airline magazine had one for $200 for that allowed you to see 1,000 miles. One could look at the stars w/o any optical assistance and see light years. I actually saw them art a flea market once. Cheap plastic junk that should have cost $10, actually useless.
I have long wondered in the history of the world if any person has ever had their dentist recommend gum much less by brand name.

For years I've been trying to figure out how Ivory Soap was tested to conclude it was 99-44/100% pure.
What was wrong with the other 56/100% ?

The slow and meticulous "Dumbing Down" of the humans. Reprogram their thought process and they"ll do whatever you want. Ever read George Orwells "1984"? We're living it right now.

A Mars bar now has "The 100% taste of Mars" What the hell else would it taste of and a certain furniture manufacturer claims 25% extra "WOW" factor. Beats me...lol

Next time you see a shop with an advert in the window
"UP TO 50%, 60% OR 70% OFF"
Go in and ask them to SHOW you what has this amount off, bet they can't

Most department stores have their jewelry advertised up to 70% off during sales. I wonder what it's really worth.

I do, it has to be perforated and be 2-ply.
You can tell 1-ply folks by the look on their faces.

The ads that stick in my craw are electrical shops who'll slap up and over £200 on a TV, washing machine etc for a couple of days/weeks then proclaim it's a sale item. These crooks are using a very loose legal loophole by overcharging on an item for a while and then selling at the recommended price pretending it's a sale.
Even on latest digital TV's the 'small print' is being shown in corrupted fonts which make it hard to read, thus many are fooled into thinking they're getting a bargain.
The run up to Christmas is really bad for this.

No, and it's on the internet. And they can't put anything false on the internet. I read that on the internet. Bonjour
