Verdict On Pocket Hose Silver Bullet and Brass Bullet

Buy having the name “SILVER” in the Pocket Hose Silver Bullet the scammers want the buyers to believe that they are buying a quality garden hose that has SILVER metal connectors. This is not true, there are no metal parts in the Silver Bullet Pocket Hose. The word “Silver” is used as an idiom and is not to be taken literally. The idiom “Silver Bullet” means an instant solution to a complex task. There are two things that the promoters of the Pocket Hose Silver Bullet achieve by having the name “Silver Bullet”. The word “Bullet” connects with the already popular “Brass Bullet Hose” (which is actually the the competitor of the Pocket Hose). By associating with the Brass Bullet (with the word “Bullet”) they hope to build their brand on the success of the “Brass Bullet”. The second reason for using the word Silver is that it send a message (though false) to the buyers that it has silver or metal parts in it, which is not true. Pocket Hose Silver Bullet has retorted to deceptive marketing techniques to promote their flimsy hose. We do not recommend buying this hose. There is nothing good to say about the Pocket Hose Silver Bullet.
