Top Chinese and Singaporean concerns

I just found the following list on my phone, of the most frequently seen TV ads on Chinese television (from when I was there in 2008).

• Children not eating
• Dandruff
• Magic pills for women (general fix-everything elixirs)
• Magic pills for children
• Skin whitening “treatments”
• Calcium drops for women
• Pain killers

Here’s my list for Singapore (2009):

• New restaurants and eating establishments
• Underarm sweat stains
• Skin whitening pills and masks
• Skin care and skin treatments
• Baby formulas
• Toothpaste with miracle ingredients
• Breast/figure enhancement (non-surgical) “treatments”
• Miracle weight loss clinics and “treatments”
• Miscellaneous cure-all ointments
• “Romanticised” fast food
