Kills 99.9% of all germs…

You’ve all seen the ads, haven’t you? Cleaning products that are apparently so good they clean

We're safe! We're 0.1%!

We're safe! We're 0.1%!

“99.9% of all germs”

Yeah … Ok, if you can make this claim then you MUST know what 100% of all germs are. The only way you can deduce what is 99.9%, is if you already know what 100% is. If not, then you’re lying, plain and simple.

So, by deduction, if you know you can kill 99.9% of all germs, whay can’t you just go ahead and kill 100%? Or, what the hell is this 0.1% Super-Germ that no-one seems able to kill?

The claims are utter bullshit. Advertisers CAN’T claim 100% killing because they know it’s not true and they’d be liable for litigation if anyone got sick. So, the 0.1% is the advertisers “get-out”. If something bad happens thay just turn around and say, “Well we don’t claim it kills 100%, only 99.9%”

It’s called covering your arse, because if you don’t you cover it, your arse is out the window…
