Yogurt Poop
Have you seen this commercial for the yogurt that keeps you regular -- "Activa"? One young female woman doesn't want to go out (implication -- clubbing or whatever the kids are calling it these days) because she is "bloated". Roomie, of course, is regular -- because she eats Activa. EVERY DAY.
Then they show one of those medical looking pictures. It looks a little something like this:
Then this:
Oh, I see! Some yellow balls will move around, then form an arrow in (on?) my stomach pointing down. Right. That makes perfect sense.
Unless... wait, I think they mean it'll make you poop! That arrow means poop. Come on Dannon -- quit skirting the issue. Keep it real. It's poop you are talking about. POOP POOP POOP!
Also funny -- the bacteria "only found in Activa" is called Bifidous Regularis (TM). They trademarked the bacteria, and called it "Bifidous Regularis".

They shoulda shown the woman on the pot exclaiming, "Thanks Activa!"

There's a site that talks about all their "scientific" claims at www.bifidusdigestivum.com (it's a site from the UK, where Bifidus Regularis is called "Bifidus Digestivum"...)

I tried it and it does work for me. I feel better after taking it.
