Does a commercial always tell the truth?

Unilever is being sued. Well, all these big companies have been sued. But this time it is a quite interesting reason. A 26 year-old men from New Delhi wants to acquire 26000 pounds with the excuse that what they said in the advertisement is not true.


Probably this didn't happen to him, poor one.

He claims to have been using the products from the brand for years and nothing happens. And?Well, the product affirms that if you use it, girls will fall for you. Since he has tried all the products of this line and nothing happened after about 3 years he feels it is his right to be 'reimbursed', specially after he has been suffering of depression and psychological damages.


He says in his court petition: "The company cheated me because in its advertisements, it says women will be attracted to you if you use Axe.I used it for seven years but no girl came to me."

Lynx - how unilever is known in India - didn't make any comments.

I am very curious with the outcome of this case.

Actually, when I met my husband, he used Axe. If Unilever wants to use us as witnesses, we are in...
