    I recognise almost all those sayings, but thank God can't put more than one or two to an actual product.

    What an epic fail on the part of advertisers (either that or I'm going a bit senile).

                  Pondlife scores 20.

                  For clarification, e.g. Q.18, Q.38
                  sorry - for these, and more, I do need the name of the company too, as the product is a bit generic.

                  So if in doubt, include the company,
                  e.g. if an answer is "Fry's Turkish Delight" then include "Fry's" don't just say "Turnkish Delight"
