I nominate -

-'24 Hour Protection' from a deodorant. Please. If your deodorant is that effective for 24 hours, you must be sitting in a meat locker all day

-'Whitening' tooth pastes. Is there a tooth paste that ISN'T 'Whitening'???

-'Two Thumbs Up' for movies. I think there about 10,000,000 movies in this exclusive club...

Any insurance company that claims, "We're on your side"...

Car dealers that spew "No haggle pricing". Yeah sure. I'll just buy your overpriced vehicle at sticker price because some marketing scumbag thought to call your pricing 'no haggle'. Please.

Isn't Flo in Progressive?

EDIT: Nvm, didn't see your comma there. Changes the whole meaning of your sentence.

Yeah, when I worked at a pizza place a long time ago in the summer it would get HOT. I'd go stand in the freezer for a bit. It was nice.

About toothpaste, most toothpastes are good as long as you brush right. Most of the germ-fighting has to do with the movements of your brush, not the toothpaste itself.
