How many people question various advertising claims? I know I've done it for a while, but it seems like I've been doing it a lot more recently.
For example, Scope outlast. They make the claim that it last 5 times longer (in large font) with an * and in fine print it says "than brushing alone". How does that compare to regular scope though? Maybe regular scope lasts the same amount of time and they're charging me more for the same thing.
Of course any taste tests and such are questionable as you never know the conditions they were conducted in.
Anyone else have examples that bug them or just general agreement?
