Flip Skepticism Into Curiosity

"I want my money back. When I bought this, I was expecting it to be gross and hard to drink, but nope, it's citrusy and refreshing.”

This line works because it acts as a pattern interrupt, making people stop and listen.

It initially sounds like a complaint, but then it flips expectations completely.

Most people assume that greens taste awful, so challenging this belief right away grabs attention.

Plus, the way it’s phrased feels real and unscripted, like something an actual customer would say rather than a polished marketing script.

Flip a common assumption about your product and prove them wrong.
