Morning daily I drank it and check my height whether i grew up or not? What I mean here is everyone did these crazy stuffs in our childhood but those advertisements also make people crazy.
Most of the advertisements not only describe the purpose of the product they elaborate that without the product we couldn’t live. Advertising is not a bad thing but those advertisements should make sense and it’s should be realistic.
Advertisements never make sense. They are basically created to attract customers and it looks like everyone of us is a victim here. These hair products, jewels, facial creams, beverages etc , are just like anything else in the market, they're Average!
These advertisements make them exaggerate their normalcy and make them look extraordinary and while taking away our money.

I had the same experience with Complan, coz when I was in Gr.7 or 8, I was pretty much short. I insisted on buying it so that I would grow taller. And the same goes for Horlicks for intelligence.
Now thinking about it, starting from my tooth paste to the brand of sandals I wear, everything is overpaid and over-rated. We switch from one average stuff to another seeking a change, which happens hardly.
And the hair oils, don'r even start on it. But now I've given up on switching and settled for simple coconut oil. Not a difference. but saved a hella lot of money.
