My most gullible momentSomeone once told me that gullible wasn't in the dictionary and I went, "yeah yeah ha ha" but when they were gone that didn't stop me checking. What was YOUR most gullible moment? Zero points for buying an icon on b3ta.

I don’t believe it!A while ago in a pub I managed to successfully convince some regulars of the following statement:
“When Unilever released ‘I Can’t believe It’s Not Butter’, they successfully defended a case against the butter industry because the word ‘Butter’ was not a registered trade mark.
They then also managed to successfully sue a smaller rival company for trying to sell a product called ‘I Can’t Believe It’s Not I Can’t believe It’s Not Butter”
My bullshittery was received with many ‘Oohs’, and ‘Corporate bastards eh? – You’ll never beat big business’
I wonder how many times that has done the rounds by now?

Butter != butterThere's a bit of truth in that.
Because it contains the word "butter" in its title but not any actual butter, it wasn't allowed to be advertised on tv. They had to do a massive print (newspaper) campaign when it was first launched. Those rules have changed now.
