Never buy anything because someone, who knows nothing about the product, comes up with a catchy phrase. When you listen (or read) a commercial listen closely. Most, commercials say very little that gives useful or factual information about the product. Anyone remember Jogging In A Jug?

I hear they sell well in some areas. I also heard they don't resell well.
