Yeah, this is why some drug ads tell you nothing about what it is or what it does and just say stuff like "Ask your doctor if Invisible Potion is right for you."

If they tell you what it does, they also have to tell you all the reported side effects.

It used to be that if you said the name and what it does, you had to report the side effects, so companies would get two 15-second spots, where one was super vague like "There's a new drug for allergies available. Talk to your doctor." and then like 30 seconds later, you'd get that spot where the guy climbs to the top of a big mesa and yells out "ZYRTEC!" and that's it.

If you were watching, you knew Zyrtec was the new allergy drug, but technically they were separate commercials.

My #1 pet peeve with drug ads is when they state "Don't take Fancydrug if you are allergic to Fancydrug." Like... yeah, no poo poo? I wonder what legal battle happened that set this precedent.

I’ve had to go to a 911 call where someone with a diagnosed severe apple allergy ate an apple. And I don’t mean, ate something with apples in it, I mean just bit into a big juicy apple because he took a Claritin that day and thought he’d be fine. People are stupid.

This is why I I've got a blanket ban on the most common cross-contact vectors for my peanut allergy (chocolate and tree nuts). It's not as silly as your example but I don't want to go through life thinking "well this SHOULD be okay".

I see shitloads of people using them to get to the train station. It's not as cumbersome as a bike and you don't have to worry about someone stealing it while you leave it at the station.

If I lived a bit farther I'd definitely consider getting one.

There's an ad that runs on the digital broadcast subchannels for a zit vacuum that sucks the grease and pus out of your hideous face boils and combined with the voiceover that's way too enthusiastic about pimple goo it's one of the most lunch-regurgitating things I've ever seen.
