Gonzalo E. Mon Yesterday, we posted about a decision in which P&G challenged claims that Rascals made about the absorption capabilities of its diapers. Rascals also advertised: “210,000+ 5-star reviews of Rascals Products.” P&G thought something about that claim smelled funny and challenged that, too

Gonzalo E. Mon Rascals advertises that the Hydrolock Core in its diapers “holds up to 25 x its weight” and “absorbs 15 x its weight.” P&G thought that claim was full of crap and filed a challenge before the NAD, arguing that Rascals supported its claims with tests that didn't mirror real-world use. NAD's decision holds valuable lessons for advertisers across industries.

It's another socially distanced production this week, and Bohs fans are partying like it's 2021 as they bask in the glory of an unexpected sequence of victories. In a jam packed show brought to you by our friends at Rascals, Collar & Cuff, Sport Cosanta and Future Ticketing, we reflect on a dramatic night in Dalymount, a testy affair in Tallaght and ask what goals from the prophet Moses can do for Galway. Another crowded mailbag brings the lads down a road of Reynolds revisionism, media-manager relationships, underage potential, selective best elevens and astute if anonymous Athlone analysis. Dan just didn't realise that the road would end with Johnny setting an unusual Shelbourne selfie challenge before confirming that if Galway can't do the business at the top, they'll always have Jimmy Keohane's bottom. Confused? This episode might just make sense of it all.
