At first glance I thought this was about the strength of the string, but further inspection reveals that the ad is layered with a strange metaphor for the strings ability to 'catch food'. Meh.

Or rather, how to contract:
Amoebiasis, Cyclosporiasis, Cryptosporidiosis, Giardiasis, Microsporidiosis, Schistosomiasis, Guinea Worm Disease, cholangitis, cholecystitis, obstructive jaundice, Tapeworms, cysticercosis, Fasciolopsiasis, Dwarf Tapeworm Infection, Hydatid disease, coenurosis, Ascariasis, Enterobiasis, Botulism, Campylobacteriosis, Cholera, E. coli Infection, M. marinum infection, Dysentery, Legionnaires’ disease, Pontiac fever, Leptospirosis, Salmonellosis, Typhoid fever, Vibrio Illness, SARS, hepatitis A, Polio, or JC or BK virus (progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy in the brain)

Would have been much better off going with the strength of the floss, "strong enough to pull out the big ones," etc. And don't put that crap in your mouth... i'm gonna go puke now.

Not getting the relevance to catching fish... too far fetched IMO.
