Evergreen Weed Killer ad

EquestrianBabe · 01-05-2010, 01:02 PM

Anyone seen this ad which has the frog in it? All the dancing animals? The dancing tortoise? It is so cute, I wish I could find it on Youtube, but It doesn't seem to be there

Will try to find it.

Yep i've seen the ad!

My Sister used to sing that song to my Nan

She would sing it:

Cheer up Nanny Jean why are you so mean

(My nan was and still is a miserable old fart LOL)

Oh here's the ad

Thanks, Herpard

So she'd sing that song using the Evergreen Complete tune? Funny

I do not think she would be best amused at your calling her a miserable old fart.

Be warned though that stuff is deadly to torts!!!

Yes, so why is there a tort in that ad when its dangerous to them and dandelion weeds are what they eat? A bit pointless, lol

That has been mentioned to them (its called advertising! advertise your weakness as a strength something I teach in school) but believe me it is immediately deadly to any tort who grazes on grass treated with this. I have known of tort owners who have moved not asked if lawns have been treated and then allowed a tort to graze and they have been found dead shortly afterwards.
I certainly put nothing on my 'lawn'!

Every tort owner disapproves of weed-killer. It is their dream to have dandelions growing in the garden. I would put nothing on my lawn either (if I had one, that is), all we have are flagstones.

The advertisers should be disciplined but there is nothing one can do unfortunately except hope that tort owners are more sensible!

Yep

Maybe the Evergreen company knew that it was bad if tortoises grazed on it, but they put the tortoise in just to complete the wild life characters. The tortoise in it is pretty cute, actually, doing his little jig!
