This ad will make you think that our young generation is very smart. Not only do they know the spelling of Lemon, Bleach, Blue and Vinegar but they also know their stain removing properties! They know where to get them in one place (why go to different shops? - so they are smart shoppers, too), how much these things cost and how to get the money to buy them (perhaps from unsuspecting parents' wallets). Even the saleswoman at the counter knows all this and suggests that the kid buys Surf Bar so that he can save some money for himself. Questions like "what the hell are you doing here unsupervised?" do not pop in her head (although the scriptwriter/servicing/client has cleverly given the reason in the end - they are busy bringing home his baby sister, silly!)
Usually I protest against an ad, but this time, I have decided to go on an indefinite fast to protest against child labour. Ever thought why does the child know so much? Because, sadly, it must be a part of his daily chores!! Therefore, unless the boy's parents call me and promise not to use this kid as domestic help again, I will not eat.
