There's an ad for Baileys over here and it's set in a zero-gravity bar. Interestingly, the people and the alcohol are floating, yet the bar's furniture isn't. Also, yesterday I saw a Paco Rabanne fragance for men that was called "Ultraviolet". Hmm..

LOL! Did you ever notice that in movies or commercials, whenever they are trying to show something in zero-gravity, all liquids pour UP? And, well, they POUR.

Quite odd considering most shampoos have either sodium laurel sulfate or sodium laureth sulfate as their main ingredient, and whatever fruits extracts they do have provide little more than fragrance :biggrin: . Obvious advertisement ploy.


Now with neutrileum.
