**10 OUT OF 10 FRESCA DRINKERS PREFER FRESCA**.
What? All you got is a tautology? Really?
Ten out of ten coprophagists are keen on poop, but in no way does that inspire me to expand my gastronomic horizons in that direction.
Also, one from twenty years ago, when the Egg Council was pushing _“The Incredible, Edible Egg.”_

Mine’s the Dwyane Wade “Fall Down Seven Times, Get Up Eight” campaign for Converse. I mean seriously, no one in the ad department could do the math here and figure out the flaw? Stupid stupid stupid.
