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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
