Sports fans are still laughing after learning last week that Coca-Cola admitted in US District Court that its sports drink Vitamin Water is not a healthy beverage and that it violates FDA food fortification and product naming guidelines.
Imagine that! Only a handful of actual vitamins in a sports drink called Vitamin Water from our "health conscious" friends at Coca-Cola, makers of the "nutritiously rich" Fanta, Fresca, TAB, Pibb Xtra and Mellow Yellow soft drink brands.
So, who will be the next national advertiser who needs to come clean with the American sports fan?
Will Gatorade finally disclose what's actually in you...or us...or it?
Will Nike implore customers to finally stop doing it, i.e. overpaying for their ridiculously over-priced sneakers and athletic apparel?
Will AT&T change its slogan to "Fewer Bars in More Places" to more accurately reflect its at times woeful cellular service?
Will Budweiser report that the same flat-stomached, buxom blondes in their commercials never actually drink their weight gaining product?
Will GEICO fess up that they may have saved you 15% in car insurance, but they raised your deductible to $5,000?
And will McDonald's, Burger King and Taco Bell all be forced to admit that most of their fast food has less nutritional value than say.....Coca-Cola's Vitamin Water?
You get my drift.
I probably could have thiught up plenty more examples of these artificial ads, but I didn't take a Lunesta and stay at a Holiday Inn last night.
Straight talk. No static.
