Almost every advert in the world is, to some extent, a little bit unbelievable.

It could be that the people in the ad are smiling a little too much, or that everything just looks that tiny bit too perfect.

Or it could be that the accessories the company in question has chosen to jazz up their product are so ridiculous that the whole thing falls apart on closer inspection.

Time to embrace this, people: get your trays, your unlikely snacks, your various alcohols, and your undressed salads, stat.

It's bath o'clock.
