Saverstrip
from a forum thread...
"Way back the bus companies here tried out an idea to speed up boarding, they sold a piece of card called a saverstrip and when you got on the bus you pushed it into a machine that went Ker-Ching so that everyone knew you'd paid. The TV ads for it had the most f*ck irritating jingle ever:
Ker-Ching a work
Ker-Ching a shops
Ker-Ching a cheaper
Ker-Ching a saverstrip
The joke was that after a while the bit of the machines that made the Ching gave up, so they all went Ker-click."

What baffles me is why journalists always include a list of famous people that use the latest miracle cure. Am I supposed to be swayed because a famous actor uses these bandages?

Yes!
Be honest. If a friend you trust recommends something, you are going to be well disposed towards it.
The whole PA business promotes celebrities as ‘friends’, who you call by a personal or nickname, whose slightest personal detail and life history you know, or at least you know one that they want you to know. How many people do you work with who you ‘know’ that well?
