Which advert?

"Email travels at 3000 miles a second"

I think it might have been Anadin or some other speedy painkiller.

What were the other figures given?

"Spam travels ten times faster"?

"If anyone has seen the Annadin Extra commercial in the UK. You'll notice that at the beginning it gives some figures to try and get across that Annadin is fast based on some other facts. Unfortuately, the facts given are completely and utterly false! Trains do not run at 300mph, in fact
125mph would be closer. And email does not travel at 3000 miles per second. In fact, it's much faster than that. In fact it's pretty difficult to measure the actual speed a signal is sent down a line. But the 3000 miles per second is obviously just a figure the made up. You can test it yourself..."

thats all I can find so far

If I'm remembering correctly there was also a figure on how quickly the Earth moves through space.

Its that I'm trying to remember.

100000 kmh / 67000 mph

off the top of my head

(don't know if thats what the advert said)

Only advert I remember with the speed the earth travels through space (65,000mph?) was an advert for a free inventors pack or something.

Actually, I think that might be the one I'm thinking of. And the figure in my head matches it.

Well the figures wrong according to nasa

Also, for some reason, I have the number 65553 in my head.

Think that might be a limitation of Windows somewhere

Maybe its an AD thing.
