Tetley Tea Hit By Advertising Standards Authority
June 6th, 2009
The UK ASA that regulate all television advertising across the country have banned a commercial by the majr tea merchant Tetley because it portrays green tea as being more healthy than it actually is.
In the advert a woman is seen drinking tea instead of going for a run and its implied that tyhe tea is just as good as going for a run – or so say the ASA.
Its all a bit silly and far over the top. I think any advertising for green tea ia a good thing because it doesn’t get the promotion it deserves in the UK.
