    "summary": "A colourful cat-food advertisement promoting Catto Crunchies with chicken and salmon. It claims enhanced feline intelligence, activation of hidden DNA potential, improved strength and happiness, nutritional benefits, veterinary approval and consumer preference. Scientific-looking graphics and numerical claims reinforce the messages. Two small footnotes refer respectively to a palatability study involving 100 cats and in-vitro studies of selected ingredients."

      "description": "The advertisement claims that Catto Crunchies is clinically proven to enhance feline intelligence, but the associated single-asterisk footnote describes a palatability study rather than a cognitive study. A study of food preference cannot, on its own, establish an improvement in intelligence. The prominent NEURO BOOST COMPLEX label reinforces the impression of a demonstrated neurological effect without identifying its composition or mechanism.",
