No better than that advert for some windows/doors company with the northern
guy who yells "you buy one...you get one free!!! you buy one.... you get one
free!!!" whilst pushing over the window samples.

Still it makes adverts worth watching for the LOLs.

Funny you should mention this, I just bought a bottle from my local ASDA.

Nobody is quite sure if the ad is a spoof or just has a remarkably low
budget, but Cillit Bang developed something of a cult following on the
Internet.

There's a band named Cillet Bang somewhere, and you can even buy
t-shirts featuring the bottle:

It was either a clever marketing plot, or a fantastic stroke of luck!
