If Brita has its way with your mind, then you’re gonna think that you’re drinking used toilet water if you don’t use their filter.
You read right. I just saw the latest commercial on the television for Brita water filters and that’s the impression that I thought that they were trying to portray. You see a glass of water on the table and the toilet flushes. As you hear the flushing sound, the glass fills.
Then across the screen is the text,stating that the water from your tap and the water from your toilet come from the same source. The implication, of course, is that your water intake feeds both the toilet and the drinking water, implying that water destined for sewer faucilities is of a lower standard than drinking water. The toilet flushing to fill the glass plants the image of used toilet water going into the glass, although its not even close to being true (too late - your mind has already made the connection).
C’mon, people! The water coming in the house is up to drinking standards! The water feeding the toilet is good enough to drink just like the water feeding the tap. It just gets contaminated after it goes in the bowl.
Marketing!
Buddy doesn’t have any problem with the toilet water. The only problem I have with the toilet water is that it’s too cold when I take a leak. :O
Mac, do you usually dangle certain parts of your anatomy into the cold toilet water? This must be a new technique that I’m not aware of. Not that I ever paid that close attention. Still, it does seem like an odd thing to do.
Oh, and Corey, When I see ads like that that try to use scare tactics, it usually has the opposite effect on me to what they intended. It’s just like those people who leave flyers under your windshield washer blades. It annoys me enough that I purposely don’t use their services/buy their product.
Skye, I don’t purposly dangle.. it just ….. ahh nevermind. LOL
So you don’t just call your cat “Buddy”??
