    Voted best product of the year...

    I think there must have been the results of some consumer survey come out in the UK, cuz every advert has some logo and 'voted by UK consumers 'Best Product'. The survey number was typically, pathetically unrepresentative at a megre 12,953.

    I've always laughed at these ads when they say, "95% of 15 women thought they might have been a bit less wrinkly after two weeks so BUY THIS NOW OR YOU'LL BE AN OLD HAG!", but this one got me thinking... just how big an area is that, in theory at least?

    Well... it's this big:

    Basically, when a product claims that "95% of users agreed it reduced wrinkles" or whatever, the amount of people that were asked live in a one square kilometre area.

    At least i think thats what he is on about...
