The link above displays trident gum with words surrounding it saying "helps prevent cavities, super helpful". This advertisement shows use of weasel words through the word "help" in the statement made, people see this and think that chewing this gum will help them not get cavities but this gum doesn't say how it will accomplish that. This also brings up the point of does this inch long minty stick of gum really hold that ability? It does not. Another use of weasel words in this advertisement is "super helpful" again using that help word makes the audience believe that buying this will assist them with something and make their life easier.
