It would be very easy to sue Axe or Tag for false advertisement. In all of the commercials where guys are getting jumped by women, they don't have a disclaimer saying that it won't actually get you jumped by women. In fact, even if its just for the sake of humor, they state that you will have women jumping your bone and caution you about using it in the general vicinity of large groups of them.don't believe you can be sue for implying human nature; it's not like the red bull ads that say you'll sprout wings, this infers women will be attracted to your smells using extreme exaggeration.
I'm talking about technicalities in advertising laws. They're advertising with the intent of selling their product. Regardless of whether they are exaggerating, as you said, they are implying that you're gonna get some if you use it. I am completely aware that its a marketing ploy, but they left themselves open. If you use it and women aren't attracted to you, you have every right to sue because they never, at any point, say that it it might not happen.
Spoiler:
oh im not saying you're wrong, simply that you would be wasting your time/money... Unilever is a global powerhouse in the hygiene market and has thousands of lawyers working yo protect them from stupidity such as this... good luck in your future futile endeavors though LOL.
Even if you got a case it's all up to who has the better lawyer, a great manipulator that can twist the facts.
its not even as 50/50 (better lawyers win) as you put it, they advertise that way because they can, because someone probably set the guidelines and they're following them; TJ doesn't know the adverting laws well enough and neither do I (will this semester) so everything he has said is purely speculation. The simple fact is that they advertise they way they do, they have been doing it for years and no one has been able to stop/sue them; bitching about it is just a crotchety old man move.

I'm not bitching and I'm completely aware that this is a completely frivolous matter, but still the omission of anything saying that the product might not work the way they say it will is deceptive. I'm smarter than that and while I can speak for mankind in general, there are a lot of people that are smart enough to realize it as well. However, there are a lot of stupid fucking people out there and who knows what they infer from ads like those. Theoretically, it could work, but in actuality, the most that would come from it would be the FTC advising them to add a disclaimer.

I grant you that its possible but unlikely that any action would be taken, I'm sure other have tried and failed and the product/claim (to get girls) has been around long enough to assume they're following the laws correctly, If it were a new product I may agree but as it's been around for multiple years it stands that you're wrong, nothing would come of any law suit.
