Addytive

Meaning: An imaginary ingredient added to the product to improve its saleability.
Pronunciation: Ad-dee-tive.
Usage: Often me-too products need addytives like 'Oxygen Power'& 'Stain Busters' to stand apart.
Root: Addy (ad parlance for 'very advertising') + Additive (a substance added in small amounts to strengthen the proposition).
