Have you seen that digestion yoghurt advert- you know the one that goes

"Bifidus Actiregularis Regularis "

Next time you see it on tv imagine Hermione from Harry Potter shouting it as a spell...It has me and my other half in stitches...........

its Hermione'S anti thrush spell.

Has anyone ever noticed that the name of the bacteria keeps changing.
Once it was bifidus essensis, then bifidus digestivum and now it's bifidus actiregularis.

That's because it doesn't exist.

Strictly, it's ...

Bifidobacterium animalis DN 173 010

The rest are made up by Danone.

I tried some of these yoghurts for a few days. Made me feel sick as a dog. I figure my bad bacterias are in perfect balance. It's the bad bacteria that keeps me going. Any tampering with this harmonious situation has disasterous results.

The true name is..."Marketus-walletlinus" or "weakmindus-sellalottus".

If I wanted to stop feeling so bloated I'd stop drinking so much beer. As it is, I like that I've got a temporary table when I'm reclined confront of the TV.

AMATEUR!!! Mine is far more than a temporary table...it's a positive ramp towards my mouth!

Companies are allowed to patent unique bacterial strains -- and it's easy enough nowadays to create a "unique" strain with a little gene splicing. Once you've got your unique bacterial lineage, you can name it anything you like.

So they're perfectly right to say they have Bifidus actiregularis, and to say nobody else has it. Which is not the same as saying it's any better than anyone else's bugs.

The "bloated" women on one of those adverts seem to be saying they're constipated. That's a job for a lovely cheap bit of wholemeal bread, more fluids and less fat, isn't it?

Constipation adverts are the best. It's always two women talking about constipation while they're having lunch and one of them pulls out some tablets from her purse saying how good it is when you're constipated.
Yeah, because that's what women talk about during lunch.

no, no, no. the best adverts at the moment, are for tenna lady incontinence pads.

" Hi Beverly, why so down in the dumps?"

" Hi Joan... not much.....Just pi**ed myself again"

" oh is that all. I do it all the time!"

" you do?"

"Yes. But you'll never know, thanks to my tenna lady panty pads"

mind you, if you are down in the dumps, your not eating the right bread and youghurt!
