Has anybody actually ever seen this in the shops or is it some kind of wind up?

Have to say the first time this advert appeared I thought it was a sketch on a comedy show......then realised it was an actual advert, perhaps

The Cillit BANG ad is apparently part of a Ã‚Â£5million campaign by German company Reckitt Benckiser, who also make the disinfectant Dettol.

The ad is truly awful but, by God, have you ever seen such shiny coins!!

It's true, Prombabe, I'm very sad.
And sadly, informed about all sorts of rubbish. I need help.

When I was wee I remember something on the telly about this posh hotel in the states which cleaned it's guests' change for them - they had this big machine which you put your change in, together with some ball bearings and some pink buffing gel - and out came shiny coins.

I remeber gawking at the telly and simultaneously thinking that it was a dead clever idea, that it must be a really posh hotel to do that for its clients and how cool I would be if I had a wallet full of freshly buffed coinage.

Illicit Bang would be a better way of spending a day off.
