A Chinese drink company has been criticised for claiming its latest product can enlarge women's breasts in a controversial advert. The Coconut Palm Group launched its new juice with an advert featuring well-endowed models. One beauty in a plunging top runs along a beach in slow motion while holding the drink in one hand.
A slogan on the screen next to her reads: 'A can a day and you'll be white, tender and busty' as the model says: 'A can of Coconut Palm a day will give you a graceful figure.'
The company faced huge criticism from viewers on social media for the 'ridiculous' association between coconut juice and breast enlargement.
The drink is not a nutritional product so the company is not allowed to make such claims under Chinese regulations.
Chinese authorities from the country's Consumer Protection Bureau as well as the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television are expected to investigate the controversial advert.
And the company also faces punishment for sexualised imagery as well as vulgar language.
