1000 Water Purification Tablets; £10


During the ubiquitous adverts whose prevelance only increases during the festive season there are a number of categories of ad that you are definately going to see. Amongst these seasonal favourites are;
  • Toys
  • Loans
  • Chocolate
  • Booze & Bevvy
  • Hangover Cures
  • annual 26th December Cadbury's Creme Egg advert on telly
The hangover cure adverts have one clear leader (in my humble opinion) in terms of a slogan or strapline -
"Alkaseltzer, the science of plink-plink fizzics"
It's a stupid play on words, but it gets the point across. Plop these little pills into water and then when you drink it it will give you blessed relief from the drunken penguins' flying-lessons going on in your head.


I'm not exactly planning on getting hammered over Christmas - but I would like some fizzy pills to drop in water. These ones aren't designed for one after one has been stupid enough to imbibe enough alcohol to give one a stinking hangover and make one feel like something the cat disdained to drag in, they're water purification tablets.

Clean the water
Prevent diseases
Save lives


simple, eh?
Maybe there should be an omnipresent 'holiday season' advert for these too, alongside all the others. 1000 for a tenner's certainly a good offer.
