an unsolved mystery

*Names have been changed to prevent a possible civil war :) *

Seriously ... I mean whenever I turn on my telly what catches my eye in the-not-exactly-right-manner is the series of ads newly started by Hog-licks (You know what I refer to right?). After successfully getting away with their bluff regarding "TALLER, STRONGER, and SHARPER" ... (pls read this post too ... you'll like it) they have made an entry with their new, EVEN bigger bluff (Would you care to note that when they tried airing their misleading "Taller, Stronger, Sharper" ad in the UK, it was immediately challenged in court and had to be pulled down).

But this is no UK, it's India, and such bluffers do manage to escape.

Whatever, without delving into points of comparison between the UK and India, let me stick to what I intended to stick to ... viz an unsolved mystery. Here goes:

WHERE THE HELL IS THE HOG-LICKS NUTRITION ACADEMY ?

India? Bombay? Delhi? Saudi Arabia? Israel? The South Pole? next door to Hogwart's Castle? Behind Dexter's Lab? I give up...

It may not be a tangible place but it sure is potent!!! People there have proved that 1 out of 3 women in their middle ages are guaranteed to suffer from ... weak bones ... and the wizards there have therefore produced the best medicine ... Women's Hog-licks - a special concoction brewed using the right mix of "Haemo Cal" nutrients to make all you suffering ladies strong again!!!

Not only this, they have even proved that 1 out of 4 men will fall asleep after returning home from office ... owing to a newly discovered disease called "fatigue" ... and thanks to their marvellous discoveries they've devised yet another potion "Hoglicks Lite" with ... er ... "Haemo Cal" nutrients, which will make fatigued men want to go on nightshows with their families ... Happens only in India? You gotcha!!! Boy, Professor Snape does have stiff competition!

Morever, the brilliant scientists there have even found out that a 1-3 year old kid needs the "right nutrients" to grow up (a ground breaking discovery indeed!), and hence their unique infrastructure, has allowed them to produce just what the kid needs ... and presto we have "Hog-licks Junior" ... packed with the "right mix" of ... er ..."Haemo Cal" nutrients.

OK, I'm not a highly qualified individual, but I have the confident understanding of some terms which tells me that "Haemo" = iron and "Cal" = Calcium (no, not Calcutta which i generally mean), and according to my class 8 Biology text book, these are essential for the growth of a "normal" multicellular species ... so ... that does not actually show up the "great" scientists in favourable light.

I did think that there's a limit to the amount of bluff you can actually churn out, but the guys at Hog-licks are bent on proving that wrong. Looking forward to your response to this post or a solution to the unsolved mystery....

PS: this was my 49th Post ... the next post will be the 50th, and that shall declare the winners of the "Wramblerz Blog Awards" ... depending on the blogs that I know till now. So people, keep visiting!!!
