Can you find an example of a hyperbole in a newspaper advertisement?

You can!
Explanation:
Many places you can find is in adverts. Like 'best windows you can find' or 'Sale of a lifetime' these are all over-exaggerating, and this is what a hyperbole is.

I find that the word 'Only' is used to the extreme in adverts.
'Only' implies something small.
'Only' one page left to read, 'only' 2 seats left, and so on.
To see an advert advertising a really expensive item with the word 'only' always seems like an exaggeration.
ONLY
ONLY
It tries to make people think that the price is good value, but it might not be so.
