In a world inundated with choices, advertainments play a huge role in informing and influencing the average consumer. With flashy visuals and tempting descriptions, advertising campaigns always aim to leave a mark with the first viewing itself. Even in the food industry, ads go a long way in attracting consumers. From mouthwatering visuals to clever taglines, the industry employs a diverse range of strategies to capture attention and create lasting impressions - and humour is undoubtedly one of them. But some ads may just turn out to be unintentionally funny. Recently, one such hilarious advertisement that surfaced on social media and was shared by Railway bureaucrat Ananth Rupanagudi, has managed to grab the internet's attention.

The ad, displayed on a wall by Nandi Aqua Industries, featured a confusing tagline that read, “Now Water With H2O.” Sharing the picture on X (formerly Twitter), Mr Rupanagudi humourously wrote in the caption, “Wonder what were we drinking till now!” This unexpected headline left many bewildered, as H2O is, in fact, the chemical formula for water.

The internet found itself amused and puzzled, attempting to decode the tagline. One user commented, "Water (H2O) does contain a small amount of D2O (heavy water). Perhaps this company is claiming to have removed all traces of D2O?"

Another user added, “We were drinking ordinary water. This one is fortified with H2O. Ah, the marvels of modern technology!!”

A clever comment emerged, "Thank God, they didn't say H2O2," which is the chemical formula for hydrogen peroxide, known for its antiseptic properties, but can cause skin irritation, burns, and other adverse effects if not used properly.
