Honestly, though, why is insulting your potential customers such a popular marketting gimmick?
They probably don't think of it as an insult per se, just trying to convince the customers that they lack something important in their life, and they can fix it by buying certain products. Unfortunately, neither do they remember that customers are, more often that not, intelligent enough to know that there's no single product that can work magic, let alone instant magic. (This is about beauty products and the like - I've no words for the cooking oil case)
