Fußcreme:
Für samtweiche, gepflegte Beine und Füße; doppelt ergiebig, mit Pilz hemmenden Extrakt.
Der Kunde meint damit, dass man für eine Anwendung nur sehr wenig Creme braucht - sie ist sehr teuer ;-)
Wie sagt man das auf Englisch?
Thx in advanve!

: twice as far as what? / I guess the German is also just as 'disjointed', eh? ;-) / Assumably explained elsewhere: "Yes, our product is a little more expensive, but it's worth it..."

: Good slogans: "goes twice as far" or "double the coverage" Lasts twice as long could also work but reminds me of toothpaste!/Ich habe lange Jahre in Österreich gelebt für mich ist Neutralität fast Angewohnheit! Wenn Sie unbedingt wollen (neutral) :)

: Yields doublefold - twice as effective. I have heard of "twice the effect". It is generally used often.

Cilian O'Tuama
: they're common expressions alright but sorry, have to disagree, if the "effect" was meant, I doubt they'd have used "ergiebig" (but sth. like Wirksamkeit/Wirkung/Effektivität...)

: surely that'd just be "ergiebigER", and the "doppelt" would mean "twice as far". But we're wasting...
