By using simple mode coupling equations, we investigate the depolarized light scattering spectra of two so-called "fragile" glassforming liquids, salol (phenylsalicylate) and CKN (Ca_{0.4}K_{0.6}(NO_3)_{1.4}), measured by Cummins and coworkers. Nonlinear integrodifferential equations for the time evolution of the density-fluctuations autocorrelation functions are the basic input of the mode coupling theory. Restricting ourselves to a small set of such equations, we fit the numerical solution to the experimental spectra. It leads to a good agreement between model and experiment, which allows us to determine how a real system explores the parameter space of the model, but it also leads to unrealistic effective vertices in a temperature range where the theory makes critical asymptotic predictions. We finally discuss the relevance and the range of validity of these universal asymptotic predictions when applied to experimental data on supercooled liquids.
