    And the separate fee is more than the original price, postage and handling than the original one.

    "Don't take if your allergic to _____________."  If you know your allergic to something, why would you take it?

    I HAVE BEEN THINKING THAT FOR MANY YEARS. Do they think we are stupid? Another one is ...another side effect may be a serious infection. WHAT? Do they put viruses in the pills?

    I love it when the side effects can be worse than what the medication is treating.

    I see that you and Element 99 wrote about this here three years ago - it seems even worse now. So weird to me. I'd rather see commercials about other than pharmaceutical products -- are 'they' wanting us to go to our doctors nd say, 'Hey, Doc - I saw  this commercial on TV? Why don't we try this drug for me?"

    And I've joked about it but I've more than once heard, "Side effects include death." or maybe it was "Taking this (under certain circumstances) can cause death."

    I'm in love with my Kia and I shall never cheat on it.

    I will always buy Kia.  They are AMAZING and cheap and well-built.  I have had two and so far, so good.  They last forever.

    This one is more stupid but anyway: "Black Friday Sale; Three Days Only". Friday is ONE day NOT three days.

    "Poop Fix"    (I asked a question about that product somewhere down the line. I detest hearing the commercials.)







    " . . . or wherever you get your podcasts . . ."

    There used to be a really annoying commercial that played on the radio every morning while I was up early doing my farm work.  

    The announcer started off with “I’m about to compare a pepper shaker to a cash-out refinance.”  I turned him off every time I heard him.
