But you know if you were in the UK when you saw them, right?
Yes, let’s start with known things. Like, OP knew where they were when they saw those commercials.
FWIW, I don’t even recognize the brand, let alone the commercial (US here) but I’m pretty marketing-insensitive, so YMMV.
ETA: Wikipedia thinks it’s a UK brand. That may limit how strong a response @philipdalton gets here.
I remember I tried using it as eye drops, and it was a disaster. One vowel can make a big difference, people!
As far as I know, that shampoo was never sold or advertised in the US. Selsun Blue is the go-to medicated shampoo here.
Of course I was in the UK when I saw them.
The reference to “adverts” was a clue.
