Here is a man who has been using Close-Up brand of toothpaste for seven years in the hope of attracting a female. However, his hopes have been dashed and now he has decided to sue the brand as it has not aided him in attracting ladies with fresh smelling breath as the toothpaste ads suggest, according to Geobeats.
According to Athony Olatunfe, 26, Unilever Nigeria Limited has been sued and he has demanded that the company prove its claims with lab tests.
In the Close-Up ads, women are shown flocking to men after they brush their teeth, Geobeats says.

Olatunfe says, “No girl ever agreed to even go out for a tea or coffee with me, even though I’m sure they could smell my breath. I always brush my teeth with so much Close-Up gel to make sure the girls get turned on by my fresh breath as they usually show on TV.”
The aggrieved man has submitted all of his used, half-used and unused tubes to the court as evidence. Unilever has been accused of “cheating” and causing him “mental anguish.”

根據《地理脈動》網站報導,有一名男子懷抱著吸引女性的期待,使用「靠近點」牌子的牙膏七年,然而,他的希望破滅了,現在他決定控告這家品牌,因為這款牙膏並未如其廣告所暗示的,幫助他以清新口氣吸引女士。
根據這名二十六歲男子安東尼.奧拉騰菲說法,聯合利華奈及利亞有限公司已被控告,他要求這家公司以實驗室檢驗證明其說法。
《地理脈動》說,「靠近點」牙膏廣告中呈現男性刷牙後,就有女性成群湧上來。
奧拉騰菲說:「就連跟我出去喝杯茶或咖啡,都根本沒有女孩答應,即使我確定她們能聞到我的口氣。我都用很多靠近點牙膏刷牙,以確定女孩會像她們在電視上呈現的那樣,被我的清新口氣吸引。」
這名滿腹委屈的男子將所有他用過、正在使用和尚未用過的牙膏呈給法庭當做證據。聯合利華被指控「詐欺」和造成他「心理痛苦」。

The strongest earthquake to hit Taiwan in 25 years killed at least 16 people and damaged dozens of buildings, but the destruction was largely contained thanks to decades of preparedness work. Taiwan sits on the “Ring of Fire,” an arc of intense seismic activity along the Pacific Rim, and — much like neighboring Japan — has a long history of catastrophic quakes. How does April 3 compare with other recent quakes? The April 3 earthquake, which measured 7.4 on the moment magnitude scale, was felt across Taiwan. It was the most severe since a 7.6 magnitude quake in 1999 killed
A: Artificial intelligence technology has been causing controversy lately: a student was caught cheating with AI to win the grand prize in an art contest. B: That’s so absurd. Does this mean that AI paints better than humans? A: Maybe. Luckily, the student was later disqualified. B: And more absurdly, it’s becoming more and more popular to use AI technology to “resurrect” people. A: Yeah, some netizens even posted videos featuring the late singer CoCo Lee, who was “resurrected” by them with AI software. A: 人工智慧的爭議不斷,有學生違規使用AI參加美術展,甚至贏得首獎。 B: 真誇張,這是不是代表AI比人類還強大? A: 或許吧,幸好得獎資格被取消。 B: 還有更誇張的︰讓死者重現的「AI復活」技術越來越熱門。 A: 對啊,還有網友製作已故歌后李玟「復活」的影片呢! (By Eddy Chang, Taipei Times/台北時報張聖恩)
Around the time of the Dragon Boat Festival in June, the streets of Taiwan are filled with the delightful aroma of zongzi, a traditional snack made of sticky rice wrapped in leaves. The leaves are folded into a cone and then filled with sticky rice and other ingredients such as braised pork belly, peanuts and salted duck egg yolks. The filled leaves are then tightly tied with kitchen twine and ready for cooking. 每到六月端午時節,街頭巷尾就會飄出粽子的香氣。粽子是將糯米包進粽葉的傳統美食,先將粽葉折成圓錐狀塞入糯米,以及紅燒肉、花生、鹹鴨蛋黃等配料,用棉線綁緊後即可烹煮。 Dragon Boat Festival (n. phr.) 端午節 aroma
It’s another school day with the same ritual. You wake up to your smartphone’s alarm, scroll through messages during your commute, and listen to your favorite playlist with your wireless earbuds between classes. These devices, integrated smoothly into your daily routine, certainly make life more convenient. However, where do these devices end up after you replace them? In fact, the issue of electronic waste is a growing global concern. According to the United Nations, in 2019 alone, we generated an astonishing 53.6 million tons of e-waste—an average of 7.3kg per person. Projections hint at the figure soaring to 110
