Being a responsible modern citizen concerned with saving energy I found myself stocking up on fluorescent light bulbs to replace all my incandescent ones. The big selling point on these things (aside from their Green credentials) is their longevity and… waiddaminute… what does that say…? A big 3 YEARS LIFE! but a wimpy 1 Year Guarantee!!!
Sheesh. Some advertising wonk has pulled a pretty big rabbit outta a pretty small hat for that one.
If you take it to mean "We guarantee it to last for 1 year, but it might last for 3!", then why did they not go for broke and say, oh, 10 years life. Or 20 years life? C’mon Mr Osram – what have you possibly got to lose?
If there’s one thing I hate it’s mediocrity in hyperbole.

Luggage shop at Sydney airport.
Someone really got a bit too clever for their own boots. I suggest they try and make it appear intentional by adopting a slogan something like this: If your wife catches you using inferior luggage, you’re dead meat!

Hey, I wonder if the police looked in there for the missing lamb shanks?
