Mmm, Salty

There is a slight problem with the new Head & Shoulders advert. Their latest wheeze is Ocean Spa flavour smell fragrance (is that right?) “inspired by the sea” it says here, which features the now standard dandruff-free beautiful couple cavorting on a beach, ocean splashing and sploshing around them as they have the time of their lives. All pretty normal until the voice-over which had meg and I in hysterics about ten seconds after we first heard it (it takes a while to sink in on first hearing). It’s the way the v-o artist places the stress in the syllables in “sea minerals” (of which the shampoo contains many) you see, so that the first two appear to be one word…
