Benadryl commercial
This story is based on real events. i have a question. is it?
"I love to take Benadryl, Benadryl, Benadryl! I love to take Benadryl, when I have allergies to kill!", I sang while going to my local HMV. There is something interesting! They have a lost Benadryl commercial from 1978, from when Pharmacia still makes the medicine. Pharmacia still exists, now only as a film company. So, I got the VHS, and went home singing the same song from when I went to HMV in the first place. I popped the VHS into my VCR, and there is something wrong as fuck. The Benadryl logo looks like an eyesore, with its green and yellow colors. Then, we show a newborn baby with a nasty infected bite, crying super loudly and hyper-realistically as blood squirted out of the infection. I got scared so easily, and my brain told me to keep watching. The camera then zoomed rapidly, ala the healing seal from the late 2000s-early 2010s commercials for Gold Bond, into the baby's mouth. The baby was still crying super fucking loudly and I am getting sick of the crying so easily. Then, the baby continued crying loudly until... BOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMM! The baby exploded with lots of blood, as the commercial ends. I have been super traumatized from that Benadryl commercial. Two weeks later, I decided to e-mail Pharmacia. I didn't get a response until another two weeks, when it said:
To: Whom it concerns
From: Pharmacia
Subject: Disturbing and traumatizing commercial for Benadryl in the late 1970s
We are sorry, we have never made anything as disturbing or demented as you have described for us. But we understand your worry, so we think you should get some therapy from Cricket Green.
And remember... SSSSSMOKIN'!
I took their word for it and have Cricket Green drive me to a therapy center, and I had to stay there for two weeks.
The end.
The Aftermath
The next day, I tried to find a video of the commercial that traumatized me, but... I saw something interesting instead that cheered me up! A Viro-Med commercial from 1978! Hurray! I clicked on the video, and I saw the entire commercial that started with the words, "VIRUS FLU". It cheered me up since it was owned by Whitehall, later MASS/Medic, and now Cricket. Consumer Healthcare.
