Commercials tell such expressive tales! And all the rocking vids! and rhythms - models and energy!
And the scale ...has to be lying, HAS TO! and-yet-nothing-fits-right.
Well spoken, good tones ...perfect choice of final line.
One note though - you caught an "I" in the stream of "L"s.
Ha!! This is a hilarious and rewarding criticism of consumerist culture. It reminds me of the "Fizzy Lifting Drinks" in the original Charlie and the Chocolate Factory movie. My favorite part is the hyperbole of the line, "energizing the sick!" It may be true that many mothers give their children soft drinks to help upset stomachs when they are ill, but this kind of ridiculous claim is also what makes advertising so consistently ludicrous!! I always try to give actually constructive criticism, so if you want any suggestions I will just say that I think you could actually ramp up the ridiculousness a little. Tongue in cheek style, so that it is obvious you are being ridiculous but you are not letting it on...You already have done that, clearly, but I think it could be even more satirical. There are so many ridiculous claims to draw from in advertising. Well done though, great way to make a mockery of the psychological trickery of advertisers!!
