Mucus

Relief for More Than Just Mucus!

What kind of sales pitch is that?

It's the new Robitussin slogan.

The Partnership for Drug-Free America, in its annual study of teen drug abuse, states that teenagers are more likely to abuse over-the-counter and prescription medication than illicit drugs, such as ecstasy, cocaine, and methamphetamines.

ONE IN TEN TEENS REPORT THAT THEY HAVE ABUSED COUGH MEDICINE TO GET HIGH.

Relief for more than just mucus.

Stange to say the other week my teenager was asking for a specific brand of cough medicine. He's going to have to make do with sage tea ;)

What an ad, indeed. The people who do those pitches need to get their heads outta' the clouds, and think of the way teens do respond.
