Infuriating commercial phrases I wish they would ban:

	Nothing's better than X for stopping Y!
	No X is fresher!
	Nothing beats it for fighting Y!
	No W will give you a closer shave than X!

All of these mean:  Our product is not inferior!  Aren't you impressed?

I *am* more impressed when they say it's BETTER than any other brand, but they
always say "leading brand".  Sigh.
