Persil Advert

[giraffe_02]

In the Persil Advert, why does the slogan say 'Persil gets rid of 99 top stains?' why doesn't it get rid of 100?

Because if it was perfect, they couldn't improve it, and in about 3 months time re-launch it, telling us how much better it is ; )

and if it doesn't get rid of a stain, I suppose they could argue that it is the hundreth one they can't get out.

Because they'd put the manufacturers of 'permanent markers' out of business......

Because, as postdog says, that one of yours that just won't shift is bound to be the one it can't deal with.
