I'm So Sick Of These Commercials!!!!



Recommended Posts

Laura, that commercial is great, it is one of the few that I actually laugh at.

The male enhancement commercials drive me insane. My dh always gets a kick out of them. He says if he had an erection that lasted longer than 4 hours he wouldn't be calling the doctor, he would be calling all his friends and bragging about his awesome stamina.

Laura, that one cracks me up too. It's true! My DH decided to stop drinking a 2 liter bottle of soda everyday and lost 10 lbs in a week. I was so mad!

Susan, I could never figure out why a man would call his doctor if he had an erection for more than 4 hours! I agree, he'd be calling all his friends. Heck his wife might even be calling all of her friends!

There's already been a big crackdown on advertising like this. The latest thing I saw was for the product "airborne" (supposed to help cure / prevent the common cold). In some of the ads, the makers of airborne claimed that a double-blind study proved their claims. When the investigators went to check out the address of where the "study" took place, it turned out to be a private residence......just some dude's house! Airborne is getting binged for something like 20 million dollars, and they have to restructure what they say the product can do.

Look for most shady products to go this route. There will be heavy insinuation, but they won't directly say "Product Z will do / cure this".

On a totally unrelated note, Skittles has the best commercials ever. I think their ad guys stay up late smoking pot and getting their ideas.

Hi,

I laughed at your post and want to know why four hours? Is three any better? Be well.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
