"Now your stopping power has staying power."
What do you think it means? There's a play on words with this advertisement.

Look at how she is dressed. She doesn't look like she will do any washing, right?
On the right is the clothes detergent, Tide.
Her stopping power is her dress. You stop to look at her!
However, she has Tide, so she can stop clothes from becoming dirty. Staying power means that something has power to last for a long time. Coca Cola has staying power, too.
So her clothes will always look clean and new - to stop people again!
※アメリカの洗濯用洗剤Tideの新しい製品の広告です。どういう意味でしょうか。できれば、最初は下の説明を読まずに理解してみましょう。
