This is in survey response about a hair product ad:
"intentar hacernos creer que en 3 minutos se puede reparar el pelo con una ampolla"
I know that ambolla can refer to blister on skin, but I can't picture what it means in the context of hair (restoration). Perhaps an unknown idiom in Spanish...?

The speaker could be from a Catalan-speaking region and has ended up code-switching.
"Ampolla" in Catalan means 'bottle'.
Not 100% though. Good luck!
