From what I can gather 'Cool Burst' is a registered trademark but the same product is marketed by other companies which use 'cool blast' on the label. |

cool burst Cool Burst™ similar to Cool Blast Explanation: I think the difference is that Cool Burst is a trademark: Cool Burst (with TM) http://ebae.net/picture-drug/tylenol-sinus-severe-congestion... http://knoji.com/images/user/anndavey/tylenol-0bb5c1f0.jpg Cool Blast (no TM) http://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/image.cfm?id=99067&type... http://images.ddccdn.com/otc/107575/select-brand-44-503c-1.j... |

cool burst feeling of relief/killing of cold Explanation: not really sure from your question what exactly you are looking for but I assume it's the meaning of these phrases? I agree with medeast in discussion about the sensation of the caplets or, in other words,the feeling of relief brought by this medicine. "Blast" is a bit stronger in intensity than "burst" as a word. You blast for exploding/dynamiting and burst a balloon so wordplay is involved here. Advertising copy in other words often uses evocative language Both words basically mean also mean the cold/fever or other ailment the medication is targeting will be "blasted" or burst" away, that is, destroyed or killed off. Of course it could b true about trademarks as well but I think it is more to do with the meaning of the words chosen. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 8 hrs (2014-05-06 09:17:25 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/blast http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/burst as you can see both words are similar in meaning so "cool burst/cool blast" (with "blast" stronger) are both explosions of coolness bringing relief to the sufferer and killing off the illness/fever etc. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 9 days (2014-05-15 08:23:23 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- glad to have helped:-) |
