I agree with everything you said. I always thought the allergy thing was idiotic, and yes the “cure” is worse than the affliction for sure.

Nope. Neither one of you hit on the highlight of those commercials, when they're disclosing the "possible side effects" -- they always list death. Yup, whatever they're selling, I'm running out right now to buy it?! :p

When my 3 sons were young they could go through boxes of cereal in no time. i would buy generic Fruit Loops that came in a bag not a box. To this day the oldest one still remembers eating what he called fake cereal-- unless it's name brand he won't eat it. When he brings up the subject of fake cereal my reply is "yes you were so abused poor boy". Didn't seem to do him any harm grew to be 6' 4"

Finished watching all the Star Wars movies ready for the new one

I just burst out laughing over this! I also remember the "bags" of no-name, "fake" cereal. Too funny about your son's reaction! :hilarious: P.S.: I think the no-name brand must have contained growth hormones, if he grew to 6'4"!! :hilarious:

Watched New Hope, my favorite, last night. I am still partial to the original 3. Going to watch Rogue One tonight.

I hate those commercials for a different reason. The MONEY they soak into slick advertising, just drives up the cost even higher for prescription drugs, for everyone. :mad:

The required list of awful side affects of those drugs makes me wonder how effective they are are at all. I sometimes feel that they are marketing to the group of people that are always looking for their sickness du jour, then they request a specific drug that was advertised. The everyday lay person has no idea about drug interactions or have training in what might or might not cause them problems due to pre-existing conditions, etc. It just seems that the market consists of MD's or hypochondriacs.

The one that makes me scratch my head is one that we shall name "George". The warning at the end says do not take "George" if you are allergic to "George". Duh! The question is how do you know if you are allergic to "George" until you have taken it? Ah, good old Catch 22!

I definitely get where you’re comin’ from, but, I just tend to try and find the humor in ‘em.
The other line in those commercials that tends to make me chuckle is... “Don’t take *blank* if you’re allergic to *blank*” ...well, duh, but, how are ya’ gonna’ know if you’re allergic to *blank* until ya’ take it...?!!!!! :cyclops:
And, most of the time, the side effects seem to be twice as bad as the affliction there supposed to be treatin’...!!!!! :oops:
Tends to remind of the ol’ SNL “Happy Fun Ball” advert skit...!!!!! :hilarious:

I didn't notice that you had made that same observation about how one knows until it has already happened part of that commercial. Maybe they are really pushing paying the medical community to test you for allergies. Sorry!
