High Drama

I have just seen the most extraordinary advert. It's for some kind of antibacterial spray or something, I don't know what, I was laughing too hard to notice. In the ad, there's the usual voiceover about how bacteria from food is transmitted on chopping surfaces. Then a mother hands her baby a carrot baton that has been chopped on the same surface as some raw chicken. In the baby's hand, the carrot stick turns into a raw chicken leg. What I totally love about the ad is that in the corner, in small letters, you are assured that this is a "dramatisation". You read it here first: there are no germs fearsome enough to turn a carrot into a chicken. Yet. But until they develop that power, just in case, use Dettol.
