To be annoyed by the new Glade advert.

[Pixel]

I know, I need to get a life .
But honestly, if I was showing someone around my new home and she immediately whipped a large air-freshener out of her bag I think I'd be more than a little offended! I wouldn't sit around giggling girlishly and admiring said air freshener like a complete simpleton. bet it was written by a man

I don't even buy air-freshener (we have windows!) but this ad makes me grind my teeth. AIBU? I know I'm not really

Who the fuck buys air fresheners? This is what I'd like to know.

I can honestly say, I don't know anyone who does, unless they're so well camouflaged as an attractive bit of rock that I haven't noticed them or their faux fresh air pong.

But there's an inordinate amount of them in the supermarket and a lot of adverts for them on TV, so someone must buy them.

YANBU. Haven't seen it but it sounds inane.

ooh is it the one that seems to have really bad voiceover acting? I always wonder with those if they were originally US adverts that have had slapdash dubbing done to them.

I've actually not even noticed the content of the ad as I can't get past the voices.

I don't buy air fresheners, but I do buy the odd scented candle just because I like candles, and I sometimes find them in a scent I enjoy.

it's this one. Can't remember exact wording as sound has gone on my laptop but it's something like "I love it, so contemporary but what's that hideous pong?"

My MIL buys air fresheners. They are her addiction and her house is littered with the stinking things. She has at least two "squirt on it's own every 20 minutes plug in thingies" in every room, plus aerosols and some kind of potpourri thing where you pour oil on little wooden balls to infuse the room. I could never visit without coming out feeling sick from the combination of vile smells HoneyBerry Mountain Dew competing with OceanFresh MeadowBlosson (or whatever stupid names these things have).

She would definitely spray air freshener around someone else's house. I know this because she once burst into the bathroom while I was (only just) seated on the toilet and sprayed air freshener onto me! She then stood and tried to have a conversation with me about how she cannot stand a dirty toilet or a lingering smell. I was only wanting a wee but at that point my bladder was too terrified to comply.

I buy them! Normally just the pot of oil with sticks in them for my front room I think they look quite nice too, or the occasional scented candle. Don't buy plug in's or anything though.

sorry to resurrect this from yesterday but I'm psml at your post, NoOnes The very idea of being sprayed down whilst on the loo.

I buy them! And plug in's. I like sweet smelling things though.

FIL, who was a scientist, explained how these things contain nerve agents and can cause all kinds of health problems. My next door neighbour is addicted to them and I can smell her house when I'm in ds2's bedroom reading him a story She also stinks my garden out when she has her patio doors open. I don't know why people need them. Just open windows each morning.

I feel much the same about the Perle du Lait yoghurt ad. If I'd gone round to someone's house for lunch 'with the girls' and the hostess whipped out a four-pack of yoghurt with the implication that I was a bloater who could do with a low-calorie pud I would not simper with delight so much that my words didn't quite match my lip movements. Or if they did, I'd be saying, 'Oh how lovely' while muttering, 'thanks much' to myself.

I have air freshener. For the strangest of reasons my vacuum leaves a trail of curry smelling air behind it, so I spray air freshener in its wake. I do open my windows too though :)
The ad is crap, I agree
