Can a coconut drink boost a woman’s bust size? That is what an advertisement for a popular beverage in China seems to suggest.

The online advert for the drink Coconut Palm has been criticised for its “unsophisticated” language and unsubstantiated claims, according to Chinese media.

The advert, produced by Coconut Palm Group, the biggest drinks producer in Hainan province, features a young woman with a plunging neckline and holding a bottle of the coconut milk.

Beside her is a slogan that reads: “A can a day and you’ll be white, tender and bosomy.”

However, nutritionists have questioned the advert’s claims, The Beijing News reported.

The drink was not a nutritional product and unable to make such claims under Chinese regulations, the report said.
