Like a lot of other folks, I've been hustling through the holidays and fighting off a cough. So, munching on a lot of cough drops these days.
However, noticed the cough drop marketing gurus thought it a great idea to provide "a pep talk in every drop." My wrappers throw out this advice: Dust off and get up. Be resilient. Keep your chin up. Put a little strut in it. Hi-five yourself.
This is pretty extreme advice for a cough, so I have to wonder: did the manufacturer of my cough drops really think I'd become depressed or suicidal over a cold? And, would these marketing tactics work better on other healthcare items, like say, a foot cast? Or crutches?
Ya gotta wonder...yeeshkabiddle.
