Stating The Bleeding Obvious

Wed 23rd Oct 2002 18:57 BST by Andrew from Bath, U.K.

A note on the inside of a PG Tips teabag box I've just opened reads:

Did you know, PG Tips is a great source of fluid... ?

Actually, by pure chance I just happened to, yes. It's like saying:

Did you know, the atmosphere is great source of air?

But now I come to think of it it's not actually a great source of fluid is it? I mean, it's talking about a small paper bag of dessicated plant leaves. I can't think of many more things that are not a great source of fluid. The water that I purchase separately and add to said teabag is a great source of fluid, because that's what it is, fluid.

Given this new line in advertising it would be OK then to say:

Sawdust? It's a great source of vitamins! *
* When used in conjunction with a great source of vitamins

Oh crap, I need to get out more!

I'm currently feeling busy
