Adverts
That bring out the same gimmick a few years later thinking we've all forgotten about it so they can repackage it and sell it for more money. Strong offenders include

Febreeze - originally a product that doesn't cover up odours but neautralizes them
- turned into a range of scented products
- New febreeze, neutralizes odours without covering them up!!!

Orbit/Extra chewing gum - Originally with xylitol, chew after meals instead of brushing. Mint! (remember the ad with people brushing in inappropriate places, like the girl at school)
- Now you can buy, newly packaged with conveniently less gum but costing a lot more, NEW orbit with xylitol to fight plaque!

Aquafresh - The three stripes have always repersented fresh breath, clean teeth, and killing plaque (or something to that effect) now, the new one (in a magical pump) contains these three brand new properties.

Either I notice a lot about advertising (which I do) or the entire British population has the memory of a fish! I find it insulting.

Adverts in general
break my patience. "68% more radiant!" Measured on a radiance-o-meter, no doubt.
