* The latest{{when}} commercials for Verizon FiOS TV/Internet service star a technician explaining the benefits of the service to a curious kid who spotted a weird light in his truck. The boy then ''repeats'' this technobabble to his dad (word for word!) to entice him to get the service.
* Detergents:
** How many times did you see an ad for a laundry detergent with "intelligent molecules"?
** In the UK, there was a TV advert making a big deal over "perborate"
** There's a commercial on in [[Canada]] selling some kind of laundry detergent that boasts about its "acti-lift technology".
* Every commercial for shampoo, face creams, etc that make up any old scientific-sounding mumbo-jumbo to sound like they are terribly advanced and especially effective. [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] in the shampoo commercial that points out "Here's the science bit."
* Recent bottled water ads have been boasting its high pH level. Which is great, until you realize that lye has a pH of 13. (Pure water's pH is 7.)
