Hey, Pandas, What Marketing Or Advertising Word Or Phrase Annoys You Every Time You See It?

For me, it’s when I get a fruit-flavored drink, and the container proudly tells me that it holds whatever I selected “plus other natural flavors”. Does that even MEAN anything?

#1

“This drug can lead to worse symptoms, diarrhea, and death.” Why are you even advertising a drug like that?

#2

Black Friday stuff that says it’s ‘marked down’ and ‘on sale’. Yeeeaaaahhhhh most of the time it isn’t…

#3

“buy”

#4

“How many times has this happened to you” then a visual of someone bungling through a kitchen, garage, etc and then they try to sell you an ingenious organizational tool. Two if you pay extra handling fees.

#5

Step X: Enjoy!

Because adding one extra step to something that’s marketed as something simple and easy (so now instead of 3 steps it’s 4 steps) just to say “enjoy” totally makes sense.

#6

I find it confusing when I find labels that say things like “gluten free” on thing that are obviously gluten free like vegetable and fruit

#7

“9 out of 10 dentists recommend” I don’t buy toothpaste unless 10/10 dentist recommend sorry

#8

50 % off today only.

#9

Liberty liberty liberty.

#10

When you buy a large package of anything, for example a crate of beer (24 bottles), and it has a big flashy sticker on it like ’20 + 4 free!’… Like if i’d take out those 4 bottles and leave them on the shelves would I pay the same amount?

#11

“Superfood”, a made-up marketing term that anyone can choose to apply to anything.
