So I went to america and I saw companies swearing over each other.
Like in a Ford commercial it says :
"While you should choose some cheap Toyota and Hyundai over this Ford?"
And in subway commercial.
"SubWay has 10 diffrent breakfast menus while McDonalds only has 2. I think people are wise enough to choose delicious SubWay over McDonalds.

There is a law in Turkey which prevents you to use other company names in your commerical. I think humiliating other companies in an adevertisement is not righgt.

They do it with supermarkets here. Like when your browsing round Sainsburys you have "29p Cheaper than at ASDA" And things like that.

It's called competition. It happens all the time, in all kinds of places, and in all sorts of manners.

It may seem harsh, but that's just a method of advertising.

there is no way to monopolize so the next best thing is to have a competition. So some companies butt heads like Subway and Quizno's how Quizno's claims to have toastier sandwich's than Subway and use more meat. It's just how marketing and advertising works.
