English Translation of Main Headlines

Headline on pack: Oh shit (™) Subline on pack: efficient headache relief. 500 times daily Copy on pack: Research in the UK shows that swearing has a pain reducing effect on the brain. It appears uttering expletives stimulates amygdala neurons that trigger a fight-or-flight response making us less sensitive to pain. But swearing your headache away does have considerable side effects. Namely, no one likes a potty mouth. Dropping the F-bomb in the office can blow your career prospects. And cussing like a common dockyard whore at social occasions will guarantee you never get invited back. So for pain relief that’s effective without being offensive, we suggest something approved by scientists and your mother.
