Cillit Bang, or at least the badly made commercial for Cillit Bang, has been the topic of conversation on the blogs for ages, and on media forums like UK Net Marketing. It's getting some huge viral online PR. People want to know whether Cillit Bang is real? Or is it some teaser for a different product altogether?
LinkMachineGo (wicked blog about all sorts of radom things) has gathered together some opinions, including how school kids greet eachother with the phrase?! And have a look at how many comments there are on this blog. You can even buy the T-Shirt!
Added Feb '04. -- And this is the best website I've seen for ages - it's some guy Adam Welch talking us through how he bought four bottles of Cillit Bang and cleaned over £20 of copper coins just to see if the advert was telling the truth, with loads of photos. Proof the product exists and works! But there's a twist in the ending. Read it to see what happens to the coppers.

This stuff really does exist and is brilliant!
No need to go trudging round all the supermarkets, it is now available on ebay.co.uk - you have to get some!

Cillit Bang is apparently the latest product to be unleashed from the Reckitt Benckiser stable ... other products include Dettol, Finish, Airwick from Haze. I can't imagine the Advertising Standards Agency would allow something to be advertised that is not real! I've tried the Reckitt site but no clue of the new product ... we await with bated breath I suppose.

After reading that Cillit bang was available in Morrisons and Asda, I bought some from Morrisons Bristol, but they didn't have it in another branch which I was at today (cos I sold the bottle I bought in Bristol on ebay for a profit!)
And I haven't seen it in Asda yet. Looks like there isn't enough of it to go round!
