Le message de la publicité est direct et simple et vise à donner une impression de fiabilité: "fait exactement ce qui est écrit sur la boîte". Aujourd'hui, on emploie cette expression en anglais britannique lorsqu'une chose correspond exactement à ce que l'on en attendait. On dira par exemple the Comprehensive Guide to Pop Trivia website is really cool - it does exactly what it says on the tin, it's got everything ("le site web du Guide complet de la musique pop est vraiment chouette - le titre ne ment pas: il est vraiment complet"). -
