Funny you should mention this, I just bought a bottle from my local ASDA.

Nobody is quite sure if the ad is a spoof or just has a remarkably low

There's a band named Cillet Bang somewhere, and you can even buy
t-shirts featuring the bottle:

It was either a clever marketing plot, or a fantastic stroke of luck!
