Seems impressive. But I still can't take a product seriously when it's named "Elf Oil" . . .

What is the marketer's first language, I wonder. The copy writing doesn't quite fit my brain properly.

Elf originated as a French company, though it is now part of the massive, international Total Group. The headquarters are in Paris.

So... How many elves do you have to squeeze to get a quart? It must be really expensive as elves are hard to come by these days. Does the elf lobby know about this treatment? What about the SPCE? And, lastly Santa will be very upset if he finds his elves being used as a petroleum substitute! No Area 451 or new body kit from Santa for you smart owners using Elf oil!

It's early, I must need more coffee...
