those catchy drug slogans...

Published

I was thinking last night about all the TV ads for drugs. Very catchy slogans-

the "purple pill" Nexium,

Levitra:"stay in the game"

Valtrex: "the power to take charge"

and of course Cialis: "when a relaxing moment turns into the right moment, will you be ready?"

and I was thinking, why give these nice expensive drugs catchy slogans when so many more mundane drugs are deprived of them????:p

so I thought of a few:

Lactulose: the purple goo that makes you poo

Mucomyst: tastes like sulfur- works like magic!

Oxycodone: It's what you came here for

Kayexelate: let it all out

Nitro: under your tongue, into your heart

can anyone think of some more?

:) ;)
