Sticks to any metal surface
Recently I have seen several TV commercials about a magnetic
flashlight that the seller claims will, "Stick to any metal surface." Don't they know that aluminum, copper and brass are metals and that magnets will not stick to them? -- When I am in the kitchen, I often kick one of my cat's balls. After I kick it, he will sometimes play with it for a few seconds to several minutes. His favorite are the ones that rattle. He'll play with any ball that makes noise. |

Yeah, it seems that the writers of commercial copy don't know much about what they are advertising and how it works. One I love is rust resistant aluminum, not rust proof aluminum but resistant, as they don't seem to know that aluminum does not rust. OK, I know it will oxidize, but rust is the domain of iron/steel products. |
