I said it just makes them sound pretentious and totally unnecessary, but for some reason all of a sudden everyone is obsessed with things that sound middle class, that actually aren't - like a ham and cheese sandwich ffs.

:hehe: Yeah, shampoo is right up there in terms of completely fabricated marketing wank. Just had a quick look on Google and found these in 12 seconds :hehe:
(Oh and EVERYTHING is 'New Advanced Formula' - the original shampoos must've been absolute shite!)
* Pro V formula
* Ceramide
* 100% natural Argan oil
* Elvive UV filter
* Sulphate Free Fortifying System
Mind you, men's razors are not far behind. I'm waiting for the day when we'll see a razor with 14 blades on it, for the closest shave a man can get, or some other such bollox.
